If the AMA of the inclined plane below is 2, calculate the IMA and efficiency. IMA = Efficiency =
1 answer:
Answer:
IMA = 2.5 metres
EFFICIENCY = 80%
Explanation:
The AMA of a machine is referred to as the Actual Mechanical Advantage of a machine, calculated as the ratio of the output to the input force.
The Ideal Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the input distance to the output distance.
From the diagram, the input distance which is also the distance moved by effort = 5metres
The load distance (output distance) = 2 metres
IMA = INPUT DISTANCE / OUTPUT DISTANCE
IMA = 5metres / 2 metres = 2.5 meters
Efficiency is the ratio of AMA TO IMA
AMA = 2, IMA = 2.5
EFFICIENCY = AMA / IMA
EFFICIENCY = (2 / 2.5) × 100%= 0.8 × 100%
EFFICIENCY = 80%

Answer:
56250 N
Explanation:
mass, m = 6000 kg
initial speed, u = 20 m/s
final speed, v = 5 m/s
distance, s = 20 m
Use third equation of motion
5 x 5 = 20 x 20 + 2 a x 20
25 = 400 + 40 a
a = - 9.375 m/s^2
Braking force, F = mass x acceleration
F = 6000 x 9.375
F = 56250 N
Answer:
The magnitude of the net force is 5430N
Explanation:
I suggest to define the axes as aligned to the axis of the plane. This will require you to decompose only one vector, namely the Weight. We need two components of the W force: one in horizontal direction of the plane, the other perpendicular to it. Through a simple triangle argument you will se that the plane-horizontal component of W is
acting in the direction of the Drag, and the plane-perpendicular component is:
with negative sign since it counteracts the Lift.
So the components of the netforce F are:
The magnitude of the net force is:
