Question

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is ___________ N

Answer 1

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Given                                                    Required

Effort force = 50N                                    Force applied to a resistance = ??

Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) = 2

Solution

Force applied to a resistance = Effort force x Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA)

                                              = 50N x 2

                                       = 100N
