Question

Victoria has a crate of vegetables that weighs 100 newtons. She exerts a force of 100 newtons to lift the crate with a pulley. What’s the mechanical advantage in this situation? less than 1 equal to 1 equal to 0 more than 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B , equal to 1

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of out force to the input force.

Here,

Input force (IF) $= 100$ newtons

Output force (OF) $= 100$ newtons

The mathematical relationship for mechanical advantage (MA) is as follows

$MA = \frac{OF}{IF}$

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get

$MA = \frac{100}{100} \\MA = 1$

Thus, mechanical advantage is equal to 1

Option B is correct

Answer 2

It is equal to 1 hope that helps
