A system of pulleys is used to raise a load of bricks that weighs 1,700 newtons. The force applied to the pulley is 340 newtons.

Law Incorporation [45]

By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:
$MA = \frac{W}{T} 
$
Where,
W: is the load
T: is the tension
Substituting the values in the given equation we have:
$MA = \frac{1700}{340}$
$MA = 5
$
Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of this machine is:
MA = 5

A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. What is

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The acceleration of the crate is 1.8 m/s² so the answer is a.

Explanation:

The very first thing you must do when solving this problem is to draw a free body diagram. (The body diagram is attached to this answer)

So once we got the free body diagram, we can analyze it and build our sum of forces in the x and y directions. Notice that according to the diagram, there are 4 forces to this problem, Normal (N), Weight (W), kinetic friction (fk) and the 750N force.

As one may see in the free body diagram, two of the forces are vertical forces: N and W, so we can use them to build a sum of forces:

Starting with the sum of forces in the y-direction, we get:

Σ $F_{y}$ =0

We set the sum equal to zero because there is no movement in the y-direction, so the system is in vertical equilibrium.

so the sum will be:

$N-W=0$

when solving for N we get that:

N=W

where W is found by multiplying the mass of the crate by the acceleration of gravity:

N=250kg*9.8m/s²

N=2450N

Once we found the normal force, we can use it to find the kinetic friction which is given by the following formula:

$f_{k}=N$ μ

where μ is the kinetic friction coefficient.

So we get that the kinetic friction is:

$f_{k}=2450N*0.12$

so

$f_{k}=294$

With this information we can go ahead and find the sum of horizontal forces:

Σ $F_{x}$ =ma

In this case the sum is equal to mass times acceleration because the crate is moving horizontally due to the action of a force, so it will have an acceleration.

so the sum of forces look like this:

750N- $f_{k}$ =ma
