The inventor of a new machine claims that its actual mechanical advantage is 4. Literature on the machine reports its input dist

ance is 81 meters and its output distance is 27 meters. Find the machine's ideal mechanical advantage, and determine whether the developer's claim could be true.

To solve this we are going to use the formula for ideal mechanical advantage: IMA= \frac{D_{I} }{D_{O}}
where 
IMA is the machine mechanical advantage 
D_{I} is the input distance 
D_{O} is the output distance

We know for our problem that D_{I}=81 and D_{O}=27. Lets replace those values in our formula to find IMA:
IMA= \frac{D_{I} }{D_{O}}
IMA= \frac{81}{27}
IMA=3

The ideal machine advantage of the machine is 3. The inventor is claiming that the actual mechanical advantage of the machine is 4. Since the actual mechanical advantage takes into account energy losses, it is always less than the ideal mechanical advantage. We can conclude that the developer's claim is false.

What is a stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second?
julia-pushkina [17]

A stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second will be 40 m^{3}/sec .

Discharge rate = velocity * area

                 = velocity * depth * width

                 = 2 * 2 * 10 = 40 m^{3}/sec

A stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second will be 40 m^{3}/sec .

The velocity of a body is given by the equation v= a + bx, where 'x' is displacement. The unit of b is .......
valina [46]

Answer:

s^ -1    ( or    1/sec)

Explanation:

Velocity is given in units of displacement / sec

like feet /sec   or   m/sec    

so b would have units of   s^-1

(or perhaps a more general term would be   time^-1)
