200 N of force is applied to the pedals of a bike has output force of 450 N what is the mechanical advantage of the bike

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.25 N

Explanation:

The formula for mechanical advantage is:

[tex]Mechanical \ Advantage = \frac{F_o}{F_i}[/tex]

[tex]F_o[/tex] stands for output force and [tex]F_i[/tex] stands for input force.

We can plug in the given forces into the equation:

[tex]Mechanical \ Advantage = \frac{450\ N}{200\ N}=2.25 \ N[/tex]
