Question

what is mechanical advantage? when your hand presses down on fingernail clippers and clips your nails, what is the force of your hand on the clippers? the input force the gravitational force the output force

Explanation:

• Input force: This is the force applied by a person to a machine (in this case, the fingernail clippers). The hand pressing down is the user - initiated force.
• Gravitational force: This is the force due to gravity acting on an object (e.g., the weight of the clippers itself, not the hand - applied force).
• Output force: This is the force exerted by the machine (the clippers cutting the nail), not the force of the hand on the clippers.

Answer:

the input force
