What is meant by the term mechanical advantage?

Answer 1

A lever is a very useful tool that lets us exchange weight for distance. For example (theoretically) if you had to move a 200 pound sack into a car, but couldn't lift it, you could divide it into 8 parts, each being 25 pounds, and move each one individually into the car. It would be easy, however it would take more distance (lifting into the car 8 times instead of 1)

Answer 2

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. Ideally, the device preserves the input power and simply trades off forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force.

Answer 3

Mechanical Advantage (MA) = output force/input force.

Example: MA = 500N / 50N = 10

Answer 4

Actual mechanical advantage is the real advantage it gives you. ideal mechanical advantage only theoretically exists. divide the force you get out by the force you put in

Answer 5

mechanical advantage makes our work easier mechanical advantage makes our work easier mechanical advantage makes our work easier

Answer 6

Mechanical advantage refers to the ration of the force produced by a given machine to the force that is applied to it.

Answer 7

Mechanical advantage is the difference between input and output forces.

Answer 8

Mechanical advantage can reduce the amount of input force needed.

Answer 9

The Actual Mechanical advantage.
