Is retractable measuring tape a simple machine?

Physics

deff fn [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A simple machine is a device that multiply an applied force by the use of the mechanical advantage built into the machine. Therefore, a simple machine changes the direction in which the applied force acts or the magnitude of the applied force, or both in order to do work

A retractable measuring tape is a device used for length measurement such that the direction of the applied force is reversed during retraction, while the magnitude of the output force is constant and dependent on the coil in the measuring

Therefore, the measuring tape does not have a constant mechanical advantage or act as a force multiplier, and therefore;

It is not a simple machine

Two people of equal mass attempt a tug-of-war with a 10 m long rope
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

When they pull on the rope, they each slide toward each other. How do their accelerations compare and how far does each person slide before they meet? The force on each will be the same so they will always have the same acceleration -- and, because of that, the same velocity and they will move the same distance.
