Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is equal to 19.62
Explanation:
The ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it is called mechanical advantage. In other words it is the ratio of output force to the input force.
In this problem mass=200kg
applied force=100N
input force=100N
output force=
mechanical advantage
It gives an idea about the efficiency of a mechanical device. It is indeed a measure of force amplification. In block and tackle system an assembly of ropes and pulleys is used to lift loads. When the moving block is supported by a greater number of rope sections the force amplification will be more.
