Question

A load of 300N can be lifted by a force of 30N with a help of a lever. Find the mechanical advantage. ​

Answer 1

Given

• Load = 300 N
• Force = 30 N

To Find

• Mechanical Advantage

Solution

● Mechanical advantage = Load/Effort

● Here load is 300 N and the Effort is equal to the force applied that is 30 N. Simple substitution in the formula would give us our answer

✭ Mechanical Advantage :

→ Mechanical advantage = Load/Effort

→ Mechanical advantage = 300/30

→ Mechanical advantage = 10

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Know More

• Mechanical Advantage is equal to the ratio of the Load to that of the effort
• Here load is none other than the resistance that the machine has to overcome
• And the Effort is equal to the force that we apply
• Mechanical advantage has no SI unit

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• A load of 300 N can be lifted by a force of 30 N with a help of a lever.

To Find :-

• What is the mechanical advantage.

Formula Used :-

✦ M.A = L/E ✦

where,

• M.A = Mechanical Advantage
• L = Load
• E = Effort

Solution :-

Given :

• Load = 300 N
• Force or Effort = 30 N

According to the question by using the formula we get,

⇒ M.A = L/E

⇒ M.A = 300 N ÷ 30 N

➠ M.A = 10

∴ The mechanical advantage is 10 .

❖ Extra Information ❖

Mechanical Advantage :

• Mechanical advantage is a type of measurement which calculate the amplified force gained by the mechanical system.

Load :-

• Load is a heavy or bulky object that requires effort to move or lift the load.

Effort :-

• Effort is an applied force to bring desired change to the position of the load.
