The load of 120N and effort of 60N indicate that there is a system in which a force of 120N is being applied in one direction (load) and a force of 60N is being applied in the opposite direction (effort).
To determine the mechanical advantage and the efficiency of this system, we can use the following formulas:
Mechanical Advantage = Load / Effort
Efficiency = (Mechanical Advantage / (1 + Mechanical Advantage)) x 100
Plugging in the values:
Mechanical Advantage = 120N / 60N = 2
Efficiency = (2 / (1 + 2)) x 100 = 66.67%
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of this system is 2 and the efficiency is 66.67%. This means that the system can lift a load that is twice as heavy as the effort applied, with an efficiency of approximately 66.67%.
