One simple use of the elements of the electromagnetic spectrum that we use during our everyday lives is our daily use of microwave radiation. microwave radiation is absorbed by water molecules which heats up and cooks the food whilst killing bacteria. Another would be ultraviolet radiation which we use daily in things such as light bulbs. The sun also uses this. Lastly, we use radio waves constantly. May it be tv programs, radio, or our cell phones.
If the machine's mechanical advantage is 4.5, that means that
Output force = (4.5) x (Input force) .
We know the input force, and we need to find the output force. Rather than wander around the room looking at the floor while our hair smolders, let's try putting the numbers we know into the equation I wrote up there. OK ?
Output force = (4.5) x (Input force)
Output force = (4.5) x (800 N)
Now dooda multiplication:
<em>Output force = 3,600 N</em> .
That's exactly what the question asked for. So we're done !
