Question

what is the mechanical advantage of a machine that applies a force of 1000 n to an object when a force of 500 n is applied to the machine?
0.5
2
500
1500

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mechanical advantage formula

The formula for mechanical advantage (MA) is $MA=\frac{\text{Output Force}}{\text{Input Force}}$.

Step2: Identify input and output forces

The output force is 1000 N and the input force is 500 N.

Step3: Calculate mechanical advantage

$MA = \frac{1000}{500}=2$

Answer:

B. 2
