Question

A lever is used to lift an object with a weight of 60 Newtons. The effort force is 15 meters from the fulcrum, while the load force is 5 meters from the fulcrum. What is the mechanical advantage?(1 point) Responses 3 3 12 12 75 75 4

Answer 1

the effort force is 15

Answer 2

The mechanical advantage of a lever can be calculated by dividing the load force by the effort force.

In this case, the load force is 60 Newtons and the effort force is not given. As the effort force is not provided, it is not possible to determine the mechanical advantage.

Answer 3

Apologies for the misunderstanding. In that case, the mechanical advantage can be calculated as follows:

Mechanical Advantage = Load Force / Effort Force

Load Force = 60 Newtons
Effort Force = 15 Newtons

Mechanical Advantage = 60 Newtons / 15 Newtons = 4

Therefore, the mechanical advantage in this scenario is 4.
