Question

A screw has a mechanical advantage of 12.5. How much force must you apply to the screw so that it has an output force of 1000 N

Answer 1

welcome to QC!

mechanical advantage = output force/input force

plug in the mechanical advantage, output force, then solve for input force

let me know if you're having a bit of trouble or want to check your solution ^^
