A. IMA: 4
The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) is given by:
where
is the input distance
is the output distance
For the pulley system in this problem, and , so the IMA is
B. MA: 3.59
The actual mechanical advantage (AMA), or simply the Mechanical Advantage (MA), is given by
where is the output force and is the input force. For the pulley system in this problem, and , so the MA is
C. Efficiency: 89.8 %
The efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio between the MA and the AMA:
Therefore, in this case,
The answer is A: its amorphous struture
Answer:I believe it is D I might be wrong
Explanation:
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. <span>The force exerted by the book on the table is equal to the force exerted by the table which is 4.0 N. The book does not move so it must be that the forces are balanced. Hope this answers the question.</span>
