Question

A fulcrum moving a resistance of 200 g has a distance to the fulcrum of 20 cm, the effort mass of 50 g has a distance to the fulcrum of 80 cm. The resistance moves 10 cm, the effort moves 40 cm. Calculate the AMA.

Answer 1

AMA value is 4.

Explanation:

AMA is known as Actual mechanical advantage

It can be calculated by the following formula

 MA = FB / FA

 MA = mechanical advantage,

 FB = force of the object

 FA = effort to overcome the force of the object.

Given: FB=200

 FA=50

 MA=200/50

 MA=4

Actual mechanical advantage takes into account energy loss due to deflection, friction, and wear.

Answer 2

Answer:

AMA=4

IMA=4
