Best Answer

A "regular" can opener is a machine that combines a wedge (to cut through the top of the can) with a wheel and axle (which moves the can opener's cuttng wheel -- the wedge -- around the top of the can). The input force is provided by the operator, either by hand or via electric power. The output force is the separation of the metal of the top and the movement of the opener around the can. We also find that the can and the openers parts get a bit warmer with its use, and there are losses in the system due to friction.

the input is the physical movement of the hand

the output is the friction of the can opener can stop and not cut the top of the can

A machine with a 5-n input force and a 25-n output force has a mechanical advantage of?

Just divide the output force by the input force.Just divide the output force by the input force.Just divide the output force by the input force.Just divide the output force by the input force.


What is input and output force?

An output force is the force that is exerted from the input force to create motion of the resisting object. the input force can be less or more then the output force


How is input and output shown on a force diagram?

Input and output are shown on a force diagram by the human being the input force and the load force being the output force. When you divide output force by input force, you get the mechanical advantage of a lever.

What is the difference between the input force and output force?

The difference between and input force and an output force is that an output force is force exerted by a machine, and an input force is force exerted on a machine.


Compares the input force with the output force?

Mechanical Advantage which is the output force divided by the input force.


What is the input force and output force of a pulley?

The input force is how much force you use to pull on it. The output is what is lifted.


What is an example of output force?

An output force is a force that results from an input force. For example, initially pushing something is an input force. The output force would be the force that it is moving with because of the input force.


What is the input force and output force of a wheel and axle?

Input force is the force you put in to a machine. Output force is a force exerted by a machine. You exert input force on the wheel and when the axle rotates it exert large output force.
