What are the two types of brakes on a wind turbine?
The controller and mechanical brakes.
What is maximum value of mechanical advantage?
Mechanical advantage is maximum when weight lifted is extremly high and for which C/W is extremely small so as to be negleted, Max. Mechanical Advantage=1/m
What can be done to increase the efficiency of the machine?
Mechanical Efficiency is the ratio of Actual mechanical advantage to ideal mechanical advantage.Efficiency will be maximum when Actual mechanical advantage equals that of ideal.But practically not possible.Actual mechanical advantage will be less due to friction,heat,deflection etc.avoiding these loses will increase the machine efficiency.
What is the actual mechanical advantage of the pliers?
You can grip things tightly with them.
What are the levers that operate at a mechanical advantage called?
functional levers
What is a mechanical adventage?
Mechanical Advantage;The ratio of load and effort is called mechanical advantage of any machine.Mathematical Formula Of Mechanical AdvantageMechanical Advantage = Load / EffortUnit Of Mechanical AdvantageAs mechanical advantage is the ratio of two forces, therefore it has no unit.
How did the egyptians lift the stone?
Two words, mechanical advantage.
Define a double pulley?
A double pulley is one of two types: one with a single wheel that has two grooves for two lines or one that has two wheels connected by the lines. In both types the aim is to create a mechanical advantage that multiplies the applied force into a larger force.
What are two types of radiation?
Mechanical and Particle
What is the mechanical advantage of a ramp What is the mechanical advantage of a ramp standing straight up?
The mechanical Advantage is FORCE TIMES DISTANCE
How does actual mechanical advantage compare with ideal mechanical advantage?
The actual mechanical advantage is usually less, due to losses.
The amount by which a machine multiplies an input force is called?
mechanical advantage
What two quantities does mechanical advantage compare?
Input and output (of energy)
What does the output force divided by the input force equal?
Efficiency of a machine or mechanical advantage
What is the mechanical advantage of a lever?
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
When you are solving for mechanical advantage what units did the final answer require?
None. Mechanical advantage is a ratio of two measures each of which has the same units and so it is a unit-less number.
Does mechanical advantage have the units of force?
No, mechanical advantage has no units, it is simple the ratio of an output quantity, such as force, to the input quantity. For example if it takes 10 pounds to lift a 50 pound object, the mechanical advantage is = 5
