Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)

Which is the result of using a machine?
Eddi Din [679]
Correct Answers is A.

The machines gives us some mechanical advantage. This means the mechanical average makes the work output greater than the work input
Simple most example is a lever. The force applied is smaller and the output work is larger as compared to input.

Option B cannot be true, as there must be a force to get some work done.
Option C and D are inverse of what a machine is designed for. A small force can be exerted through a large distance to have a large force exerted through a small distance. Common Example of this principle is a screw opener.

If the specific surface energy for magnesium oxide is 1.0 J/m2 and its modulus of elasticity is (225 GPa), compute the critical
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The critical stress required for the propagation of an initial crack              \sigma_{c} =  21.84 M pa

Explanation:

Given data

Modulus of elasticity E = 225 × 10^{9} \frac{N}{m^{2} }

Specific surface energy for magnesium oxide is \gamma_{s} = 1 \frac{J}{m^{2} }

Crack length (a) = 0.3 mm = 0.0003 m

Critical stress is given by \sigma_{c}^{2} } = \frac{2 E \gamma}{\pi a} -------- (1)

⇒ 2 E \gamma_{s} = 2 × 225 × 10^{9} × 1 = 450 × 10^{9}

⇒ \pi a = 3.14 × 0.0003 = 0.000942  

⇒ Put these values in equation 1 we get

⇒ \sigma_{c}^{2} } = \frac{450  }{0.000942} 10^{9}

⇒ \sigma_{c}^{2} } = 4.77 × 10^{14}

⇒ \sigma_{c} = 2.184 × 10^{7} \frac{N}{m^{2} }

⇒ \sigma_{c} =  21.84 \frac{N}{mm^{2} }

⇒ \sigma_{c} =  21.84 M pa

This is the critical stress required for the propagation of an initial crack.
