Actual Mechanical Advantage(AMA) = Weight / Force
Here, Weight = 764 N
Force = 255 N

Substitute the values in to the expression, 
AMA = 764 / 255
AMA = 2.99

After rounding-off to the nearest tenth value, it would be 3

Finally, option C would be your answer.

Hope this helps!

a large sphere is on a horizontal field on a sunny day. at a certain time the shadow reaches out a distance of 10 m from the poi
Mars2501 [29]

The radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = 10\sqrt{5} -20

Think about the angle the ground and the shadow make. Since the sun's beams are parallel, the angle created by the stick's shadow is also equal. Since the stick is 1 m high and its shadow is 2 m long, we know that the stick's angle is arctan 1/2. Therefore, by thinking of a right-angled triangle,

r/10 = tan [arctan(1/2)] = tan (1/2)

Since, tan (θ/2) = 1-cos(θ) / sin(θ)

we find that,

r/10 = \sqrt{5} -2

Hence, r = 10\sqrt{5} -20

So, the radius of the sphere in meters is ,r = 10\sqrt{5} -20

A rope of length L has circular cross-sectional area A and density rho = m/V , where m is the mass of the rope and V = A · L is
hram777 [196]

Answer: µ = ρ¹ * A¹

Where x=1 and y=1

Explanation: According to the question, the mass per unit length (µ) is related to the density (ρ) and area A are related by the formulae below

µ = ρ * A

The dimension for each of these quantities is given below

Since µ is mass per unit length, unit is Kg/m and the dimension is ML^-1

ρ is density with unit kg/m³ and the dimension is ML^3

A is area with unit m², thus the dimension is M^2

Note that using dimensional analysis means we will be using the 3 fundamental quantities (mass, length and time) in our analysis.

Their dimensions below

Mass = M

Length = L

Time = T

Since the mass per unit length is related to density and area, we have a mathematical equation to provide a solution as shown below

µ = ρ^x * A^y.

By getting the power of x and y we will be able to get the formula that relates the quantities.

This is done by slotting in the dimensions of the respective quantities.

ML^-1 = (ML^-3)^x * (L²) ^y

By using law of indices on the right hand side of the equation, we have that

ML^-1 = (M^x * L^-3x) * (L^2y)

Also applying law of indices on the right hand side, we have that

ML^-1 = (M^x) * (L^-3x +2y)

The next step is to relate equal variables on both sides

For the M variable

M¹ = M^x which results to

x = 1

For the L variable

L^-1 = L^-3x+2y which results to

-1 = - 3x +2y

But x = 1

We have that

-1 = - 3(1) +2y

-1 = - 3 + 2y

-1 +3= 2y

2 = 2y

y = 1

Thus x=1 and y=1 and the formulae that relates the quantities is

µ = ρ¹ * A¹
