Question

In the law of simple machine,the constant c indicates

Answer 1

In the law of simple machine,the constant c indicates the effort lost on friction, when no load is applied.

Answer 2

In law of simple machine, the constant c indicates the effort lost on friction in case of no load

• Machines used for lifting the loads are governed by the law of machines

• The law states that the effort that should be applied on the machine (p) is related ro weight (w) is related as

                               p=mw+c

• In the equation m,c are positive constants which are to be the characteristics of the machine

• The constant c represents the effort lost by the machine due to friction and also can be termed as machine friction
