Answer:
Mechanical advantage = 3
Explanation:
You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N.
The mechanical advantage of the system is given by the ratio of output force to the input force.
Here, output force = 300 N and input force = 100 N
Mechanical advantage,
Mechanical advantage is 3 it means that there are 3 sections of rope support. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
(a) θ = 33.86°
(b) Ay = 49.92 N
Explanation:
You have that the magnitude of a vector is A = 89.6 N
The x component of such a vector is Ax = 74.4 N
(a) To find the angle between the vector and the x axis you use the following formula for the calculation of the x component of a vector:
(1)
Ax: x component of vector A
A: magnitude of vector A
θ: angle between vector A and the x axis
You solve the equation (1) for θ, by using the inverse of cosine function:
the angle between the A vector and the x axis is 33.86°
(b) The y component of the vector is given by:
the y comonent of the vecor is Ay = 49.92 N
