To calculate MA = force needed/force used
Example
MA = 60/30 = 2
The mechanical advantage is 2
The amount of air resistance<span> an </span>object<span> experiences depends on its speed, its cross-sectional area, its shape and the density of the </span>air<span>. </span>Air<span> densities vary with altitude, temperature and humidity. Nonetheless, 1.29 kg/m</span>3<span> is a very reasonable value. The shape of an </span>object affects<span> the drag coefficient (C</span>d<span>)</span>
The acceleration of body is given 16.3m/s2 and the force is given 4.6 N then
We know,
Force=mass*acceleration
Then,
Mass=force/acceleration
Mass=4.6/16.3
Mass=0.28kg
