What happens to the mechanical advantage of a machine if friction is reduced through the use of oil or some other means?
NarutoUzumakigp5200
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.

∙ 9y agoIdeal mechanical advantage is calculated assuming there is no friction, no deflection, and no wear.
Therefore, reducing the friction in a machine will not affect the machine's ideal mechanical advantage. Reducing friction in a machine could improve the actual mechanical advantage
of the machine. Measurement of the actual mechanical advantage of a machine requires actual operation of the machine, data, and calculations.

What factor affect the mechanical advantage of simple machine?
friction affects the M.A in a simple machine.
What does the output force divided by the input force equal?
Efficiency of a machine or mechanical advantage
The amount by which a machine multiplies an input force is called?
mechanical advantage
You test a machine and find that it exerts a force of 5 N for each 1 N of force you exert operating the machine What is the actual mechanical advantage of the machine?
The mechanical advantage is 5.Mechanical Advantage = Output Force/Input Force
What type of machine advantage describes the ability of a machine to increase output force?
mechanical advantage
What is the formula to find mechanical advantage?
The mechanical advantage that a machine would have without friction or in another term is that you can find the IDEAL MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE (IMA) OF A MACHINE IS BY HAVING A MACHINE WITH NO FRICTION, ALSO BY MULTIPLYING YOUR EFFORT FORCE BY 2, HOWEVER BECAUSE OF FRICTION AND THE WEIGHT THE ACTUAL MA WILL BE LESS.
What factor affect the mechanical advantage of simple machine?
friction affects the M.A in a simple machine.
What can be done to increase the efficiency of the machine?
Mechanical Efficiency is the ratio of Actual mechanical advantage to ideal mechanical advantage.Efficiency will be maximum when Actual mechanical advantage equals that of ideal.But practically not possible.Actual mechanical advantage will be less due to friction,heat,deflection etc.avoiding these loses will increase the machine efficiency.
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.
Why does friction reduce the mechanical advantage in machines?
Because some energy is expended in overcoming the friction and not applied to performing the task which the machine is meant to do.
What is the mechanical advantage of a machine without friction?
Machinal advantage, also known as mechanical advantage, refers to the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it. A machine can be useful even its machinal advantage is less than 1.
The mechanical advantage of a machine without friciton is called the machine's mechanical advantage?

What happens to the input or effort force when a simple machine has a mechanical advantage?
Whatever output force is required, you can divide it by the "mechanical advantage" to calculate the input force.
Can the actual mechanical advantage of a machine ever be greater then its ideal mechanical advantage?
In real machines, there is always friction that reduces the efficiency of the machine.This reduces the mechanical advantage because some of the input force has to be used to overcome the force of friction in the machine.To reduce friction in the machine, you could add a lubricant such as oil.
What is the mechanical advantage of a machine which multiplies distance?
The mechanical advantage of the machine is"if you give small accelration , it will increase the speed of the engine... It is possible by mechanical
What does the output force divided by the input force equal?
Efficiency of a machine or mechanical advantage
What is true about the mechanical advantage of a machine?
it is less than the ideal mechanical advantage
