Calculate the mechanical advantage if 600N force is required to overcome a load of 1200N.
1200+600 ÷½
=900n
where is the answer
two
1200 is twice the force exerted
To calculate the mechanical advantage, we can use the formula:
Mechanical Advantage (MA) = Load / Effort
In this case, the load is given as 1200N and the effort (force required to overcome the load) is given as 600N.
So, we can substitute these values into the formula:
MA = 1200N / 600N = 2
Therefore, the mechanical advantage in this scenario is 2.
To calculate it yourself, you simply divide the load by the effort.
