Question
You use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch. You apply a force of 100 N and the lever lifts the branch with a force of 350 N. What is the mechanical advantage of the lever?A.3.5B.250C.1.8D.0.29
Solution
The mechanical advantage of a lever is calculated by dividing the output force (the force that the lever exerts on the load) by the input force (the force that you apply on the lever).
In this case, the output force is 350 N and the input force is 100 N.
So, the mechanical advantage is 350 N / 100 N = 3.5
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 3.5.
