8. How is this picture related to simple machines? Where’s the fulcrum? Where’s the load? Where’s the effort?
9. What is the mechanical advantage of a machine if the output force is 100 N and the input force is 25N? Output force divided by input force = 4
10. This rope and pulley system supports the 400 lb weight. How much tension in the rope is needed to hold the weight in equilibrium? 400 ------- = 100 4
11. What is the mechanical advantage of this simple machine if the diameter of the wheel is 24 inches and the radius of the axle is 2 inches? 12 ------- = 6 2
12. In a screw, which is greater….the input force or output force?
