*AWARDING MEDALS* Does a mechanical advantage value of 2 mean that your input force was 2 times larger than your output force?

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

MA = F(out)/F(in) So if MA = 2: F(out) = 2F(in)

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

Ah so does that mean no? or yes?

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

No. MA of 2 means that the output force was 2 times larger than the input force.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes ! When we use from Movable pulleys We have 1/2* f And m will be less ;)
