Answer:
Explanation:
Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)
MA = Li/Le
Given;
Li = 45cm
Lo = 1.8cm
MA = 45/1.8
MA = 25
Hence the mechanical advantage is 25
Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.
MA = Load/Effort
Given
Load = 1250N
MA = 25
Effort = ?
Substitute
25 = 1250/Effort
Effort = 1250/25
Effort = 50N
Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N
heat excites molecules at their "lattice" sites. Enough to break the lattice bonds set the molecules free of each other and ... melt.
