It acts in the upward direction.
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8
Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.
In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton
This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8
Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.
Hope this helps :)
Now I can actually edit my answer directly: I'm fairly sure I've got this wrong, and my mind has gone blank for how to do it, if someone could delete this that would be great and I'll think about it and see if I can figure it out!
Answer:
See the explanation below.
Explanation:
We know that density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.
where:
m = mass [kg]
V = volume [m³]
Therefore Ro is given in:
![[kg/m^{3} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bkg%2Fm%5E%7B3%7D%20%5D)
