A pulley system has an MA of 4. How much force would be necessary to pull a 200 newton box

Respuesta :

Mechanical advantage is defined as

[tex]MA = \frac{F_{output}}{F_{input}}[/tex]

MA = 4

now we will have

[tex]F_{output} = 200 N[/tex]

as we need to pull up a box of weight 200 N

now by above formula we can find how much force it requires to pull up the box

[tex]4 = \frac{F_{output}}{F_{input}}[/tex]

[tex]4 = \frac{200}{F_{input}}[/tex]

[tex]F_{input} = \frac{200}{4} = 50 N[/tex]

so it requires 50 N force to pull the weight of 200 N
