I don't know! inkyvoyd

inkyvoyd · Answer

well, what do you know about mechanical advantage?

anonymous · Answer

ummmmm that the input an output, has something to do with it?

anonymous · Answer

i think its true

anonymous · Answer

it did say something about the input and the output

anonymous · Answer

haha, you think?

inkyvoyd · Answer

Hold up... let' sthink through this one >.<

inkyvoyd · Answer

The purpose of mechanical advantage is to spread out the amount of WORK done over time

inkyvoyd · Answer

for instance, most of us aren't capable of jumping up a single floor in a building. So instead, we break it down into little itty bits, also known as stairs

inkyvoyd · Answer

or, a better example is a ramp. rather than move STRAIGHT up we slowly incline up the ramp. We still expend the same amount of EFFORT in the whole time and burn the same number of calories (essentially), but we can make it up by giving less POWER over time rather than a short burst of power.
