Question

An effort of 4 kgf is applied on a machine for movement of a load of 100kgf. Calculate mechanical advantage​

Answer 1

Answer:

5.7

Explanation:

Given that,

Load = 120 kgf

Effort = 21 kgf

We know that,

Mechanical Advantage = load/ effort

M.A= L/E

M.A=120/21

M.A=5.7

Hence, the mechanical advantage of the machine is 5.7

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

Effort applied on the machine = 4 kgf

Load on the machine = 100 kgf

To Find :-

The mechanical advantage.

Analysis :-

Here we are given with the effort and the load.

In order to find the mechanical advantage substitute the given values in the question such that mechanical advantage is equal to load divided by the effort.

Solution :-

Using the formula,

$\underline{\boxed{\sf Mechanical \ advantage=\dfrac{Load}{Effort} }}$

Given that,

Effort = 4 kgf

Load = 100 kgf

Substituting their values,

⇒ m = 100/4

⇒ m = 25

Therefore, the mechanical advantage is 25.
