You use a pulley system to lift a car engine. You apply a force of 120n and the pulley pulls on the engine with a force of 1050n. What is the mechanical advantage of the pulley?

Respuesta :

Given,

Effort force = 120 N

Load force= 1050 N

Mechanical advantage of a pulley is given by the ratio of load force to the effort force.

[tex] M.A=\frac{Load force}{Effort force} [/tex]

[tex] =\frac{1050}{120} [/tex]

[tex] =8.75 [/tex]

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the given pulley is 8.75.

Answer:

the correct answer is 8.8
