i think i would be c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just go with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think you could help me with one more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This pulley A) has a mechanical advantage of 1 and does not make work easier. Eliminate B) has mechanical advantage of 2 and reduces the force needed to lift an object. C) has a mechanical advantage of 2 and changes the direction of the applied force. D) has a mechanical advantage of 1 and changes the direction of the force needed to lift an object.

let me get the pic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea its d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get the mechanical advantage? I mean I new that it had to change direction of force but how do you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just remeber i had the same question and the answer was d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the answer is B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I turned it in lol so yea, I passed with a good grade tho so idc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you pedal your pedaling shorter not longer like taking a step but the distance you go longer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea I figured it was shorter but hey idk lol, physics had made me double think everything even if the answer is obvious
