Question

A car jack with a mechanical advantage of 6 needs to produce an output force of 600 N to raise a car. What input force is required?

6 N
100 N
600 N
3,600 N

Answer 1

Input force = 100N

Explanation:

Formula

Mechanical Advantage = output force / input force.

Givens

MA = 6

Output Force = 600 N

Input Force = ??

Solution

6 = 600 / x

Multiply both sides by x

6x = (600/x)*x

6x = 600

The xs cancel. Now Divide by 6

6x/6 = 600/6

x = 100 N
