Answer:

They multiply the input force.

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the multiplication of the input force to give an increased output by a simple machine due to the difference in the length of load arm and the effort arm.

It is based upon the law of conservation of moments as to force applied at the farther point from a hinge or a pivot needs to be balanced by a greater force counteracting at a shorter distance from the pivot.

Lever is a simple machine which consists of a bar pivoted or supported at a point (called fulcrum) about which it can rotate.

$MA=\frac{F_L}{F_E}= \frac{E}{L}$ ..............................................(1)

where:

$F_E=$ force applied on the end of effort arm

$F_L=$ force due to load on the end of load arm

L = length of load arm

E = length of effort arm

Equation (1) is known as the law of levers, it was proven by Archimedes using geometric reasoning.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of probe m = 474 Kg

initial speed u = 275 m /s

force acting on it F = 5.6 x 10⁻² N

displacement s = 2.42 x 10⁹ m

A )

initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m u² , m is mass of probe.

= .5 x 474 x 275²

= 17923125 J

B )

work done by engine

= force x displacement

= 5.6 x 10⁻² x 2.42 x 10⁹

= 13.55 x 10⁷ J

C ) Final kinetic energy

= Initial K E + work done by force on it

= 17923125 +13.55 x 10⁷

= 1.79 x 10⁷ + 13.55 x 10⁷

= 15.34 x 10⁷ J

D ) If v be its velocity

1/2 m v² = 15.34 x 10⁷

1/2 x 474 x v² = 15.34 x 10⁷

v² = 64.72 x 10⁴

v = 8.04 x 10² m /s

= 804 m /s

The force between the two objects is 19.73 nN.

Explanation:

Any force acting between two objects tends to be directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects. And this kind of attraction force between two objects is termed as gravitational force.

So if we consider $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ as the masses of both objects and let d be the distance of separation of two objects. Then the force between the two objects can be determined as below:

$\text {Gravitational force}=\frac{G \times M_{1} \times M_{2}}{d^{2}}$

As gravitational constant $G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{m}^{3} \mathrm{kg}^{-1} \mathrm{s}^{-2}$ , $M_{1}$ = 20 kg and $M_{2}$ = 100 kg, while d = 2.6 m, then

$\text {Gravitational force}=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 20 \times 100}{(2.6)^{2}}=\frac{6.67 \times 20 \times 10^{-9}}{6.76}$

Thus, we get finally,

$\text {Gravitational force}=19.73 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{N}$

As we know, nano denoted by letter 'n' equals to $10^{-9}$

So the force acting between two objects is 19.73 nN.
