Jill applies a force of 250 N to a machine. The machine applies a force of 25 N to an object. What is the mechanical advantage of the machine? 0.1 10 225 275

Respuesta :

Answer

0.1


Explanation

Mechanical advantage(M.A) of a machine is the ratio of work output to work input.

It can also be defined as the ratio of load to effort. It has no units since it is a ratio.

M.A = work output/work input

      = load/effort

    = 25/250

   = 0.1

Answer : Mechanical advantage of the machine is 0.1

Explanation :

The force applied on to a machine is 250 N. This is the input force that is applied to the machine.

The machine applies a force of 25 N to an object. This shows the output force  that is applied by the machine.

Mechanical advantage of the machine is defined as the ratio of the output force and the input force.

[tex]MA=\dfrac{F_o}{F_i}[/tex]

[tex]MA=\dfrac{25\ N}{250\ N}[/tex]

[tex]MA=0.1[/tex]

The correct option is (A) " 0.1 "

Hence, this is the required solution.
