Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of output load to the input load. The mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1.
<h3>What is
mechanical advantage?</h3>
Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system,
It is used to obtain the efficiency of forces in levers and pulleys. It is an effective way of amplifying the force in simple machines like levers.
The theoretical mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of the force responsible for the useful work in the system to the applied force.
Given
applied force = 250 N
Output force = 25
Mechanical advantage = work output / work input



Hence the mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1

Answer:
a

b
New 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The refractive index of the core is 
The refractive index of the cladding is 
Generally according to Snell's law

Where
is the largest angle a largest angle a ray will make with respect to the interface of the fiber and experience total internal reflection
![\theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{n_{cladding}}{n_{core}} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctheta_%7Bmax%7D%20%3D%2090%20-%20sin%5E%7B-1%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bn_%7Bcladding%7D%7D%7Bn_%7Bcore%7D%7D%20%5D)
![\theta_{max} = 90 - sin^{-1} [\frac{1.421}{1.497}} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctheta_%7Bmax%7D%20%3D%2090%20-%20sin%5E%7B-1%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1.421%7D%7B1.497%7D%7D%20%5D)

Given from the question the the largest angle is 5°
Generally the refraction index of the cladding is mathematically represented as


Temperature is the energy
