Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of output load to the input load. The mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1.
<h3>What is mechanical advantage?</h3>Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system,
It is used to obtain the efficiency of forces in levers and pulleys. It is an effective way of amplifying the force in simple machines like levers.
The theoretical mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of the force responsible for the useful work in the system to the applied force.
Given
applied force = 250 N
Output force = 25
Mechanical advantage = work output / work input
Hence the mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1

Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
Given:
- upward acceleration of the helicopter,
- time after the takeoff after which the engine is shut off,
a)
<u>Maximum height reached by the helicopter:</u>
using the equation of motion,
where:
u = initial velocity of the helicopter = 0 (took-off from ground)
t = time of observation
b)
- time after which Austin Powers deploys parachute(time of free fall),
- acceleration after deploying the parachute,
<u>height fallen freely by Austin:</u>
where:
initial velocity of fall at the top = 0 (begins from the max height where the system is momentarily at rest)
time of free fall
<u>Velocity just before opening the parachute:</u>
<u>Time taken by the helicopter to fall:</u>
where:
initial velocity of the helicopter just before it begins falling freely = 0
time taken by the helicopter to fall on ground
height from where it falls = 250 m
now,
From the above time 7 seconds are taken for free fall and the remaining time to fall with parachute.
<u>remaining time,</u>
<u>Now the height fallen in the remaining time using parachute:</u>
<u>Now the height of Austin above the ground when the helicopter crashed on the ground:</u>
