A lever and fulcrum are used to lift a fallen tree, which has a weight of 480N. if the lever has a mechanical advantage of 5.5, what is the input force that will begin lifting the tree of the ground

Answer:

The input force is 87.27N

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage (M.A)of a machine is the ratio of load to effort

Given

M.A= 5.5

load= 480N

effort= ?

Applying the formula and substituting to find the effort we have

[tex]M.A= \frac{load}{effort}[/tex]

[tex]5.5= \frac{480}{effort}\\\effort= \frac{480}{5.5} \\\effort= 87.27N[/tex]
