Mr. Mist’s ramp broke so he tried to lift the his 150 Newton box of ungraded papers with a pulley system. Mr. Mist had to pull the rope in his system 3 meters. The papers were lifted into his car by the pulley system which lifted the box 1.5 meters, while Mr. Mist only used 85 Newtons of force. What was the actual mechanical advantage and the ideal mechanical advantage of his pulley system?

To find the actual mechanical advantage (AMA) of a pulley system, we need to divide the output force (the force used to lift the box) by the input force (the force applied by Mr. Mist). In this case, the output force is the weight of the box, which is 150 Newtons, and the input force is 85 Newtons. Therefore, AMA = Output force / Input force = 150 N / 85 N = 1.76.

To find the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of a pulley system, we need to count the number of ropes supporting the load. In this case, Mr. Mist used a single rope, so IMA = 1.

So, the actual mechanical advantage of Mr. Mist's pulley system is 1.76, and the ideal mechanical advantage is 1.
