Does a machine magnify the force that you exert?

Absolutely. four of the most basic machines do exactly that. A lever increases the force you exert by how close the fulcrum is to the object being move, and how far the applied force is away from the fulcrum. A screw transfers rotational force (torque) to a lifting force, and increases that force based on the pitch of the threads. A wedge increases lifting force based upon the pitch of the wedge from horizontal. A pulley, when using more than one, will increase the applied force, on an order of magnitude equal to the number of pulleys used. **Note: the total work applied equals the total work transmitted less friction. The force applied times the acceleration equals the work, the machines reduce the acceleration to increase the force transmitted.


What shape has best section modulus?

The answer depends of the forces applied to the beam: - for a single-directional force, the answer is a hollow rectangular shape (with the force applied on the narrow face); an I-beam is the second best. - For forces applied in two perpendicular directions, the answer is a hollow square section. - For forces applied from any direction, the answer is a hollow circular bar - a pipe.


What is the force of the screwdriver?

The strength of your arm is the applied force on a screwdriver.


How does a screwdriver affect the force applied to opening a paint lid?

It increases the applied force and changes its distance and direction. -Novanet


A force of 2.7lb is applied to a 5.5kg mass.find the resulting acceleration in meter per sec square?

2.7 pounds force = 12 newtons (rounded)F = m AA = F/m = 12/5.5 = 2.18 m/sec2(rounded)

If a cylinder has an input pressure of 50 psi and the blank side of the piston is 5 sq inches how much total force is applied by the piston?

Multiply the number of square inches times the pounds per square inch. In this case, 5 x 50- or 250 pounds of force.


Equals force applied times distance moved?

This is the equation for "work."


When a force equals its weight is applied on a body what is its acceleration?

The acceleration depends on the net force. So, you must add the forces together as vectors. The result in this case depends in what direction the force is applied.


What does the amout of force times the time applied equal?

It is the impulse which equals the change in momentum.


If a resistive force torque is 200 pound-inches and fa equals 4 inches what F equal in the following equation 200 pound-inches equals F x4 inches?

the answer is 50 pounds.


Why a man lifting a box to be placed on a table is work?

He applied a force to the box and it moved. Force applied on it equals to the weight. As he lifts the point of application of the force gets displaced. Hence work is said to be done.


If the friction equals the force why the object moves. why it doesn't stop?

Friction force is equal to the force applied only when the object is not moving or it is just beginning to slide. Once the object has started motion completely, it means that the force applied has exceeded the frictional force


How much applied force is 60 PSI?

It's exactly 60 pounds for every square inch it's applied to.


What is the equation for pressure when the force is perpendicular to the surface area?

Pressure of solid on a solidWhen you apply a force to a solid object, the pressure is defined as the force applied divided by the area of application. The equation for pressure is: P = F/AwhereP is the pressureF is the applied forceA is the surface area where the force is appliedF/A is F divided by AFor example, if you push on an object with your hand with a force of 20 pounds, and the area of your hand is 10 square inches, then the pressure you are exerting is 20 / 10 = 2 pounds per square inch.


Can a machine increase both the force and the distance over which the force is applied Why or why not?

No. That would violate Conservation of Energy.


The amount of force applied to the machine?

The pound per square inch or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: psior lbf/in2or lbf/in2or lbf/sq in or lbf/sq in) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch:


What describes the amount of force applied to the given area?

psi or per square inch is usually used to refer to the amount of force/pressure pressing against a square inch
