Question

Yosef applies an input force of 50 N to a crowbar. The crowbar applies a force of 750 N to the lid of a crate. What is the mechanical advantage of the crowbar?



The mechanical advantage of the crowbar is
_.?

idk its science

Answer 1

Explanation: 15

Given that,

Input force applied by the Yosef to a crowbar,MA- \[\frac{ f 2}{ f1 }\]

Output force applied by the crowbar, \[\frac{ 750 }{ 50 }\]

We need to find the mechanical advantage of the crowbar. The mathematical formula of the mechanical advantage is given by :

MA = output force/input force

MA=\dfrac{F_2}{F_1}

MA=\dfrac{750}{50}

MA = 15

So, the mechanical advantage of the crowbar is 15. Hence, this is the required solution.
