A machine has a mechanical advantage of 2. This means its output force is _____.
a. 0.5 times greater than the input force
b. 2 times smaller than the input force
c. 2 times greater than the input force
d. 2 times more efficient than the input force
twice
It is correct
It is great
0.5 times greater than the input force.
so whats the answer
I didnot understood what was it
To determine the answer, we need to understand the concept of mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage of a machine is defined as the ratio of the output force to the input force. In this case, the machine has a mechanical advantage of 2.
To get the answer, we can use the formula for mechanical advantage:
Mechanical Advantage = Output Force / Input Force
We are given that the mechanical advantage is 2. Therefore, we can rewrite the formula as:
2 = Output Force / Input Force
To solve for the output force, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the input force:
2 * Input Force = Output Force
Therefore, the output force is twice the size of the input force. In other words, the correct answer is:
c. 2 times greater than the input force
