Can you determine the mass of an object greater than the maximum mass that you use in the spiral spring?
You could use two or more spiral springs to share the weight. You could use a pulley system with a big mechanical advantage and use the spiral spring to measure the reduced load. Or you could use a lever with a big mechanical advantage in a similar way.
What is a example of mechanical efficiency?
A very practical example of mechanical advantage is the use of a "cheater bar." If you find a bolt that is hard to break, simply slip a long pipe or similar object over the handle and it will apply much more torque.
Is a toilet flusher a lever?
Yes, but it sort of works in reverse. You usually use a lever to gain a mechanical advantage by having the load on the short end and applying pressure to the long end. The short end of the flush lever is pushed down a short distance and other end goes up a longer distance, giving you an advantage in distance.
Is mechanical advantage the number of times the input force is multiplied by a machine?
it really depends on the machine you are talking about. there are 6 simple machines: the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and the screw. Lever = (distance from fulcrum to effort) divided by (distance from fulcrum to resistance) Wheel and Axle = (diameter of the wheel) divided by (diameter of the axle) Pulleys = the # of pulleys used Inclined Plane and Wedge = (length of slope) divided by (height) Screw = (circumference) divided by (pitch) Hope this helped :)
What are the uses of the 3 parts of lever?
the 1st class lever 2nd class lever 3rd class lever the first class example is seesaw the second class lever example is wheel barrow the 3rd class lever example is fishing rod
You use a crowbar with a 150 cm effort arm as a lever to lift a large rock The rock is 20 cm from the fulcrum What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the lever?
It is 7.5

Why are third class levers used if their mechanical advantage is less that one?
Mechanical advantage is not the only reason to use levers.

Is the pen a simple machine?
No. The classic simple machines are: Lever Wheel and axle Pulley Inclined plane Wedge Screw Using the pen has no mechanical advantage, other than in a ballpoint pen where the roller bearing reduces friction, but is primarily intended to produce an even ink application.
What formula do you use to calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?
Actual Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of Force outputed to Force inputed. (AMA=Fo/Fi) Similarly, IMA (Ideal Mechanical Advantage) = di/do
