1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9

Explanation:

For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

IMA=\frac{r_w}{r_a}

where

r_w is the radius of the wheel

r_a is the radius of the axle

For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that r_w = 18 cm and r_a=2 cm, so the IMA is

IMA=\frac{18 cm}{2 cm}=9


2. Efficiency: 88.9%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

\eta=\frac{AMA}{IMA}\cdot 100

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{8}{9}\cdot 100=88.9\%

sashaice [31]

Answer:

L= 0.059 mH

Explanation:

Given that

R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF

V= 84 V

Frequency

ω = 51900 1/s

We know that

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{LC}}

L=Inductance

C=Capacitance

ω =angular Frequency

ω² L C =1

(51900)² x L x 6.25 x 10⁻⁶ = 1

L= 5.99 x 10⁻⁵ H

L= 0.059 mH

What do you mean by velocity ratio of a wheel and axle​
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

In wheel and axle. …with the system is the velocity ratio, or the ratio of the velocity (VF) with which the operator pulls the rope at F to the velocity at which the weight W is raised (VW). This ratio is equal to twice the radius of the large drum divided by the difference…

A skier descends a mountain at an angle of 35.0º to the horizontal. If the mountain is 235 m long, what are the horizontal and v
neonofarm [45]
Total displacement along the length of mountain is given as
L = 235 m
angle of mountain with horizontal = 35 degree
now we will have horizontal displacement as
x = L cos35
x = 235 cos35 = 192.5 m
similarly for vertical displacement we can say
y = L sin35
y = 235 sin35 = 134.8 m

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work
Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.
