Mechanical advantage
As you move the effort force closer to the fulcrum, the mechanical advantage decreases. This is because the input force is applied over a shorter lever arm, which reduces the moment arms on both sides of the fulcrum, resulting in a smaller mechanical advantage.
Force required to move the object forward.
Lesser the height of inclined plane, and more the length of it, More will be the mechanical advantage of inclined plane i.e less effort would be applied.
The advantage of using an inclined plane to lift an object is that it reduces the amount of force needed to lift the object. By increasing the distance over which the force is applied, an inclined plane decreases the amount of effort required to lift an object to a certain height.
The effort force required would be 10 N. This is because mechanical advantage is calculated as Load force/Effort force, so the Effort force = Load force/Mechanical advantage. In this case, 30 N (Load force) divided by 3 (Mechanical advantage) equals 10 N for the Effort force.
Greasing a ramp reduces friction between the ramp and the box, making it easier for the box to slide. This reduction in friction increases the mechanical advantage of the system, allowing the box to move with less effort.
The formula to calculate effort distance in mechanical advantage is Effort Distance = Load Distance / Mechanical Advantage. This means that effort distance is the distance over which the effort force is applied to move the load in a machine.
The 2nd class lever reduces the mass of an object, thus it reduces the amount of effort required to lift it. Eg: A wheelbarrow is a 2nd class lever, you are able to move a heavy object with it that you otherwise wouldn't be able to move by yourself.
To calculate the mechanical advantage of a movable pulley system, you divide the load force by the effort force. The formula is MA = Load Force / Effort Force. The mechanical advantage of a movable pulley is always 2 because the effort force is half the load force when using a system with a movable pulley.
A movable pulley reduces the effort needed to lift a load by changing the direction of the force required to lift the load. By pulling down on one end of the pulley system, the load is lifted up with less force needed due to the mechanical advantage gained from the pulley's design.
Effort force can be found by dividing the load force by the mechanical advantage of the system. The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the load force to the effort force in a simple machine. Alternatively, effort force can be calculated using the formula Effort Force = Load Force / Mechanical Advantage.
A single movable pulley has a mechanical advantage of 2 because it reduces the effort needed to lift an object by half. This is due to the pulley system allowing the weight to be distributed between the weight being lifted and the tension in the supporting rope.
