200. newton·meters of work is put into a machine over a distance of 20. meters. The machine does 150. newton·meters of work as it lifts a load 10. meters high. What is the mechanical advantage of the machine?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Answer:

Mechanical advantage of the machine is 1.5

Explanation:

The formula for mechanical advantage is:

MA = OutputForce/InputForce

To calculate this, we need the force of input and the force of output.

The formula to calculate the force given the work (W) and the distance (d) is:

F = W/d

Calculating the input force Fi:

Fi = 200Nm/20m = 10 N

Calculating the output force Fo:

Fo = 150Nm/10m = 15 N

Thus, the mechanical advantage MA is:

MA = 15N / 10N = 1.5
