Answer:

Option D

MA=5

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the  the ratio of the output force to the  input force hence

MA=\frac {Effort arm length}{Load arm length}

Substituting 15 inches for the effort arm length and 3 inches for the load arm length then we obtain the mechanical advantage as

MA=\frac {15}{3}=5

Savatey [412]

Answer:

38 N, 40.0° below the horizontal

Explanation:

Force exerted by an object equals mass times acceleration of that object: F = m ⨉ a. To use this formula, you need to use SI units: Newtons for force, kilograms for mass, and meters per second squared for acceleration.

two forces A and B act on an object in opposite directions. A is bigger than B. What is the net force acting on an object?
Akimi4 [234]
Imagine a block with A pulling one way and B the other.

If A is bigger than B then obviously it will go in the direction of A.

The net force will be A-B as A is pulling it along with x but b is also pulling back with y.
