A child makes a ramp to push his toy dump truck up to his sandbox. If he uses 5 newtons of force to push the 12-newton truck up the ramp, what is the mechanical advantage of his ramp?

Respuesta :

Answer:

m = 2.4

Explanation:

Given that,

Input force, [tex]F_i=5\ N[/tex]

Output force, [tex]F_o=12\ N[/tex]

We need to find the mechanical advantage of the ramp. The ratio of output force to the input force is equal to mechanical advantage. So,

[tex]m=\dfrac{12}{5}\\\\m=2.4[/tex]

So, the mechanical advantage of his ramp is 2.4.
