By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:
 MA =  \frac{W}{T} 

 Where,
 W: is the load
 T: is the tension
 Substituting the values in the given equation we have:
 MA = \frac{1700}{340}
 MA = 5

 Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
 Answer:
 The mechanical advantage of this machine is:
 MA = 5

What is the efficiency (w/qh) of an ideal carnot heat engine operating between a hot region at t= 400 k and a cold one at t= 300
Vinvika [58]
The efficiency of an ideal Carnot heat engine can be written as:
\eta = 1-  \frac{T_{cold}}{T_{hot}}
where
T_{cold} is the temperature of the cold region
T_{hot} is the temperature of the hot region

For the engine in our problem, we have T_{cold}=300 K and T_{hot}=400 K, so the efficiency is
\eta= 1 - \frac{300 K}{400 K}=0.25

A 1.5-kg block slides at rest starts sliding down a snow-covered hill Point A, which has an altitude of 10 m. There is no fricti
damaskus [11]

Answer:

the speed of the block when it reaches point B is 14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the block slides = 1.5 - kg

height = 10 m

Force constant  = 200 N/m

distance of rough surface patch = 20 m

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.15

In order to determine the speed of the block when it reaches point B.

We consider the equation for the energy conservation in the system which can be represented by:

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=gh

v^2=2 \times g \times   h

v^2=2 \times 9.8 \times   10

v=\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times   10

v=\sqrt{196

v = 14 m/s

Thus; the speed of the block when it reaches point B is 14 m/s

Difference between velocity ratio and efficiency​
Naddik [55]

Explanation:

Velocity ratio of simple machine is the ratio of distance travelled by effort to the distance travelled by load in the machine. The efficiency of a simple machine is defined as the ratio of useful work done by machine (output work) to the total work put into the machine (input work).
