In using a pulley system, an effort of 100N is needed to raise steadily a load of 800N (a) what is the mechanical advantage?.
Data
effort=100N
load=800N
M.A=load/Effort
M.A=800N/100N
M.A=8
correct
The mechanical advantage of the pulley system is 8.
To determine the mechanical advantage of a pulley system, you can use the formula:
M.A. = Load / Effort
In this case, the load is 800N and the effort is 100N.
Plugging these values into the formula:
M.A. = 800N / 100N
The calculation gives you a mechanical advantage of 8.
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the pulley system is 8.
