It takes 1000 N of force to lift a go kart onto a work table. If the mechanic uses a pulley with a mechanical advantage of 4 to lift the kart, how much force is needed?
To find the amount of force needed with a pulley of mechanical advantage 4, we need to divide the original force of 1000 N by 4:
1000 N / 4 = 250 N
Therefore, with a pulley of mechanical advantage 4, the mechanic only needs to apply 250 N of force to lift the go kart onto the work table.
To determine the force needed to lift the go kart using a pulley with a mechanical advantage of 4, you can use the formula:
Force needed = Force applied / Mechanical advantage
Given that the force applied is 1000 N and the mechanical advantage is 4, you can substitute these values into the formula:
Force needed = 1000 N / 4 = 250 N
Therefore, the force needed to lift the go kart using a pulley with a mechanical advantage of 4 is 250 N.
