Answer:

It can put out more force than the input force by decreasing the distance through which force is applied.
It can apply a force to an object in a different direction than the force applied to the machine.

Explanation:

Assuming the machine is a simple machine, such as a lever or pulley, the machine will not do any more work than is put into it. However, it can change the magnitude or direction (or both) of the input force required to achieve a particular output force.

Because the machine does not increase the work done, if the output force is greater, the output distance must be less.

The applicable observations are ...

It can put out more force than the input force by decreasing the distance through which force is applied.
It can apply a force to an object in a different direction than the force applied to the machine.

The force of gravity depends on the mass of objects and the distance between them. TRUE OR FALSE?

Svet_ta [14]

It is TRUE, Force is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$r=0.41m$

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

$\tau=r\times F$

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

$\tau=rFsin\theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when $sin\theta$ is equal to one, solving for r:

$r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m$
