Question

an axe used to split wood is driven into a piece of wood a distance of 3.0 cm. If mechanical advantage of the axe is 0.85. how far apart is the wood split?​

Answer 1

Answer;

3.53 cm

Explanation;

Mechanical advantage = Input distance/output distance

Input distance = 3.0 cm

Mechanical advantage = 0.85

Output distance = Input distance/Mechanical advantage

                           =  3.0/0.85

                           = 3.53 cm
