Answer:

4

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Effort (E) = 80 lbs

Load (L) = 320 lbs

Mechanical advantage (MA) =?

Mechanical advantage is simply defined as the ratio of load to effort. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Mechanical advantage = Load / Effort

MA = L / E

With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage as illustrated below:

Effort (E) = 80 lbs

Load (L) = 320 lbs

Mechanical advantage (MA) =?

MA = L / E

MA = 320 / 80

MA = 4

Thus, the mechanical advantage is 4

If two cars A and B are moving with velocity 60 km/hr and 80 km/hr
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

VAB = 20km/hr

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Velocity of car A, VA = 60km/hr

Velocity of car B, VB = 80km/hr

To find the relative velocity of B w.r.t A, VAB;

Since the two cars are moving in the same direction, we have;

VAB = VB - VA

Substituting into the equation, we have;

VAB = 80 - 60

<em>VAB = 20km/hr</em>

Therefore, the relative velocity of car B with respect to car A is 20 kilometers per hour.

A block of mass 10 kg slides down an inclined plane that has an angle of 30. If the inclined plane has no friction and the block
Helga [31]
No friction present means: Ek = Ep

So Ek = mgh = 10 * 9.8 * 2 = 196 J

A simple harmonic oscillator has amplitude 0.43 m and period 3.9 sec. What is the maximum acceleration?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 0.854rad/sec^2              

Explanation:

We have given amplitude of simple harmonic motion is A = 0.43 m

Time period of the oscillation is T = 3.9 sec

We have to find the maximum acceleration

For this we have to find the angular frequency

Angular frequency will be equal to \omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{3.9}=1.61rad/sec

Maximum acceleration is given by a_{max}=\omega ^2A=1.61^2\times 0.43=0.854rad/sec^2

So maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 0.854rad/sec^2
