A load of 2 tonnes is raised with 10N efforts. Calculate the mechanical advantage of the machine with which the load is raised?
2tonnes * 1000kg/tonne = 2000 kg.
M*g = 2000 * 9.8 = 19600 N.
L/E = 19,600N/10N = 1960 = Mechanical advantage.
L = Load.
E = Effort.
To calculate the mechanical advantage (MA) of the machine, you need to divide the load by the effort.
The load in this case is given as 2 tonnes. We need to convert this to Newtons since the effort is given in Newtons.
1 tonne is equal to 1000 kilograms (kg), and 1 kg is equal to 9.8 Newtons (N). So, 2 tonnes is equal to 2000 kg, and this is equivalent to 2000 x 9.8 = 19600 N.
Now, we can calculate the MA. We divide the load (19600 N) by the effort (10 N):
MA = Load / Effort
MA = 19600 N / 10 N
MA = 1960
So, the mechanical advantage of the machine is 1960.
