Essay!
1. a. Three of your friends are all sitting on one end of a seesaw. The combined weight is
275N . The length from the fulcrum to your friends is 2,5m. The rest of the seesaw
(from the fulcrum to you) is 4,5m. What is the MA? What effort force is needed to lift
your friends?
b. You want to see if you can lift your three friends when each side of the seesaw is
equal in length (3,5m). What is the MA? What effort force is needed to lift them?
2. A person weighing 800N moves an object with a simple machine using all his weight.
The mechanical advantage of the machine is MA = 5. Determine the mass of the
object.
3. The force arm of a lever is 1,5m long. We want to lift a 2500N weight applying a
1200N force. Find out the length of the load arm needed and work out the mechanical
advantage of the lever.
4. A block and tackle has three movable pulleys. Find out the load we can lift applying a
600N force and work out the mechanical advantage of the machine.
5. Jose and Suzette construct an arm where the effort is located 10cm from the fulcrum
and the load is 25cm from the fulcrum, what is the mechanical advantage of the arm?
6. What is the force needed to lift 600 g object for 10 m by using stair that has a length
of 20 m? What is the work done to the object?
7. What is the force needed to lift 100 kg object for 10 m by using movable pulley? If
one pull can lift for 10 cm, how many pulls and work are needed?
8. What is the force needed to crack 100 gram crab by using crab cracker when the
distance to effort and distance to load compare as 4 : 1?
