A force of 500 nextons is exerted on the rope of block and tackle, and the rope is pulled 9 meters, lifting a weight of 3,000 newtons 1.8 meters.Show all work when answering the following questions...
1a. What work was put into the machine?
1b. What was the work output?
1c. What was the efficiency?
1d. What was the Theoretical Mechanical Advantage?
1e. What was the Actual Mechanical Advantage?
Note some useful equations...
a. Work Input=FiDi
meaning : = initial force* initial distance , which is measured in (N*m) or Joules
b. Work Output= Fo*Do, meaning : = weight *distance of weight moved, which is measured in (N*m) or Joules
c.. Efficiency= work output/work input *100%
d. Mechanical Advantage= Resistance (load)/ Effort(force)
which is usually >1
