Best Answer

What you do to your end of the lever is the INPUT force.

The OUTPUT force is what happens down there under the rock.

How to decide ? Try this:

The OUTPUT is the RESULT of all the tools, equipment, resources,

knowledge, tricks, and machinery you have, and how you use them.

What in an output force?

In a closed system in the "real world" in which we live, there are losses associated with friction and other actions. These forces "take energy" from the system between its input and output. When we apply force to the imput of a system, some is lost as the force is transferred through that system. That means that the output force we observe will always be a bit less than the input force. A transmission in a vehicle is a classic example of the idea that there are losses between the input and the output of a system. The input from the engine will always be a bit greater than the output at the tailshaft (or axles for a transaxle) due to losses within the transmission.

What is force distance trade off in a simple machine?

That means that if you use a simple machine to apply less force, you need to compensate by applying the force over a larger distance - for example, to lift up a weight or do some other work.


What Is output force?

Output force is the force you put out of an object.


What is a output force?

The Output force is the force exerted by a machine.


Why is output force always bigger than input force?

Output force is never greater than input force. There are losses associated with any system, and we have not found a way to get more out of a "thing" or "machine" or any other system than we put in.With a lever, you can have a small input force, and on the other end, you can have a larger output force - or you can do it the other way. Quite often, however, the whole idea of such a lever is to be able to apply more force than we can manage with our weak muscles. But when you use a lever in the conventional way, you have to apply a force through a considerable distance to get the "concentrated" force at the other end.
