Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Fluid is water so, density
Weight flow rate = 500 lbf/s = 2224.11 N/sec
Cross-sectional area (A) =
= 0.05184
Hence, weight flow rate will be given as follows.
w =
2224.11 N/sec =
V = m/s
= 4.373 m/s
Thus, we can conclude that average velocity in the given case is 4.373 m/s.
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
