To open a soda bottle, a force of 55 N is applied to the bottle opener. If the bottle opener applies a force of 675 N to the cap, what is the mechanical advantage of the bottle opener?
The mechanical advantage can be calculated by dividing the output force by the input force. In this case, the input force is 55 N and the output force is 675 N.
Mechanical Advantage = Output Force / Input Force
Mechanical Advantage = 675 N / 55 N
Mechanical Advantage ≈ 12.27
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the bottle opener is approximately 12.27.
