Answer to Problem 8PP
The mechanical advantage of the hammer is
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Input force,
Output force,
Formula used:
Mechanical Advantage Equation:
Where
Calculation:
As per the problem,
Substitute the values of input and output force in the mechanical advantage equation:
As mechanical advantage is ratio of input and output forces, it has no unit.
Conclusion:
The mechanical advantage of the hammer is
