Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Input effort is 15N

Fi = 15N

Output effort is 60N

Fo = 60N

Then,

Mechanical advantage(M•A) is the ratio of two forces, and it is also referred to has force ratio.

M•A = Output Force / Input Force

M•A = Fo / Fi

M•A = 60 / 15

M•A = 4

The mechanical advantage is 4

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is given as a ratio of the force a machines gives out to the force that it receives.

Simply put, it is the ratio of output force to input force:

MA = \frac{OF}{IF}

We are given that:

OF = 60 N

IF = 15 N

Hence, the Mechanical Advantage of the lever is:

MA = \frac{60}{15} \\\\\\MA = 4

It is a ratio so it has no unit.

A 34-m length of wire is stretched horizontally between two vertical posts. The wire carries a current of 68 A and experiences a
il63 [147K]

Answer:

7.28×10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Applying,

F = BILsin∅............. Equation 1

Where F = magnetic force, B = earth's magnetic field, I = current flowing through the wire, L = Length of the wire, ∅ = angle between the field and the wire.

make B the subject of the equation

B = F/ILsin∅.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 0.16 N, I = 68 A, L = 34 m, ∅ = 72°

Substitute these values into equation 2

B = 0.16/(68×34×sin72°)

B = 0.16/(68×34×0.95)

B = 0.16/2196.4

B = 7.28×10⁻⁵ T
