What is the formula used to calculate mechanical advantage?
Mechanical advantage=load/effort
How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of a cam?
gyc
How can you calculate the mechanical advantage of a screw machine?
2 x 3.14+ (number of screws) / number of threads
How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of a simple machine?
In the distance from the fulcrum to the input forcedivided by the distance from the fulcrum to theoutput force.
What is a Mechanical advantage equal to?
Mechanical advantage the resistance force. Mechanical advantage is equal output force divided by input force.
How do you the Mechanical advantage of a wedge?
Just change the angle of the wedge. The thinner the wedge, the greater the mechanical advantage.
Which one has the greater mechanical advantage a thick wedge or a thin wedge?
A thick wedge has a greater mechanical advantage than a thin wedge. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is calculated by dividing the length of the slope by the thickness of the wedge. Therefore, a thicker wedge will have a larger mechanical advantage since it has a longer slope relative to its thickness.
Which has a greater mechanical advantage along or short wide wedge?
a long wedge has a greater mechanical energy then a short wide wedge.
What is the mechanical advantage of a wedge that requires an input force of N to do N of work?
The mechanical advantage of a wedge in this case would be 1, as the input force is equal to the work done. This means that the wedge is not providing any mechanical advantage, as the force required is equal to the work accomplished.
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
The spokes of a wheel are comparable to levers. Longer spokes give more mechanical advantage. Even in a wheel that is solid, and has no spokes, the greater the diameter, the greater the mechanical advantage.
How does a wedge change an input force?
A change can happen when a mechanical advantage increases as it becomes longer and thinner.
Mechanical advantage of a wedge?
you divide the length of the wegde's thickness
What is the formula used to calculate mechanical advantage?
Mechanical advantage=load/effort
Give the formula of mechanical advantage of the six simple machine?
Mechanical advantage for the six simple machines are: Lever: Mechanical Advantage = Length of Effort Arm / Length of Load Arm Pulley: Mechanical Advantage = Number of ropes supporting the load Wheel and Axle: Mechanical Advantage = Radius of Wheel / Radius of Axle Inclined Plane: Mechanical Advantage = Length of Incline / Height of Incline Wedge: Mechanical Advantage = Length of Sloping Side / Thickness of Wedge Screw: Mechanical Advantage = Circumference of the screw / Pitch of the screw
How can you increase the mechanical advantage of a wedge?
Set two wedges back to back!
Is it true the longer and thinner a wedge is the greater its machancal advantage?
Yes, the mechanical advantage of a wedge increases with its length and decreases with its thickness. Longer and thinner wedges allow for a greater distance over which a force can be applied to overcome resistance, resulting in a higher mechanical advantage.
