It decreasesThe greater the angle, the steeper the inclination, the less effective it is. The greater the horizontal distance traveled for every unit length of height gained, the greater the mechanical advantage.

What would increase the mechanical advantage of a second class lever?

Increasing the distance between the pivot point and the effort force, or decreasing the distance between the pivot point and the load, could increase the mechanical advantage of a second-class lever. Additionally, using a longer lever arm can also increase the mechanical advantage.


What are some inclined plane practice problems that can help improve understanding of the concept?

One inclined plane practice problem involves calculating the mechanical advantage of a ramp used to lift a heavy object. Another problem could involve determining the force needed to push an object up an inclined plane at a certain angle. These practice problems can help improve understanding of how inclined planes work and the principles of mechanical advantage.


What is theoritical mechanical advantage?

The theoretical mechanical advantage is the ratio of the input force to the output force in a simple machine without accounting for energy losses due to friction or other factors. It represents the ideal mechanical advantage that a machine could achieve under perfect conditions.


What is the equation for mechanical advantage?

Mechanical Advantage: F(out)/ F(in) Actual Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of Force outputed to Force inputed. (AMA=Fo/Fi) Similarly, IMA (Ideal Mechanical Advantage) = di/do


What type of advantage described the ability of a machine to increase output force?

Mechanical advantage is the greater outputted force than inputted force that is generated by using a machine. One example is pulling a pulley to create a much greater output force on the other side that a person could not lift without a pulley.

How can you increase mechanical advantage of a gear system?

A mechanical advantage occurs when a tool such as a hammer is used that increases the amount of force being applied without increasing the effort of the person using the tool. To increase mechanical advantage, you could use a bigger hammer to increase output force.

Does MA stand for Mechanical Advantage?

It could, or Master of Arts.


What is the difference between actual machanical advantage and ideal machanical advantage?

Ideal mechanical advantage is what could be obtained without the effects of gravity and friction lowering the efficiency of the machine. The actual mechanical advantage is what can actually be obtained by the machine.

What could be an advantage of competition in science?

Competition can increase the pace of scientific advancement.


What is meant by the term mechanical advantage?

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)


What happens to the mechanical advantage of a machine if friction is reduced through the use of oil or some other means?

Wear and tear of moving parts would be reduced. Less energy would be needed to run the machine, as there would be less friction to be overcome. A well lubricated machine is more efficient than a neglected machine with unoiled parts.


Why will decreasing the radius of the axle improve the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?

it's a mechanical advantage of 1 (meaning no mechanical advantage). This is because no matter how much easier it is to spin a the wheel rather than the axle, its a longer distance of effort force and vice versa. * * * * * True, but that is not what mechanical advantage is! Mechanical advantage IS the trade off between the force required and the distance travelled. You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. * * * * * Better. But I think it could be either of the two reciprocal ratios of the radii, depending on whether the wheel/axle is being used in a 2nd class or 3rd class lever configuration ... i.e., are you cranking the wheel in order to turn the axle, as in a winch, or spinning the axle in order to turn the wheel, as in a motor-vehicle ?
