Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is equal to 19.62
Explanation:
The ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it is called mechanical advantage. In other words it is the ratio of output force to the input force.
In this problem mass=200kg
applied force=100N
input force=100N
output force=[tex]mg=200 \times 9.8=196N.[/tex]
mechanical advantage [tex]MA= \frac{1960}{100}=19.6[/tex]
It gives an idea about the efficiency of a mechanical device. It is indeed a measure of force amplification. In block and tackle system an assembly of ropes and pulleys is used to lift loads. When the moving block is supported by a greater number of rope sections the force amplification will be more.
Answer:
19.6
Explanation:
MA=Ouput/Input
To get output value multiply; 200 (which is the mass) * 9.8 (which is gravity)
So, 200*9.8=1960N
Input is 100 because that is the force you are putting into the bag
Back to our formula MA=Output/Input, enter in our values...
MA=1960/100
Now divide 1960/100=19.6
MA=19.6
(no units; they cancel out).
