A person wheels his wheelchair up a ramp using a force of 93 N. If the ramp has a
mechanical advantage of 7, what is the resistance force?

Respuesta :

The resistance force is 651 N

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage (MA) of a machine is given by:

[tex]MA=\frac{Load}{Effort}[/tex]

where

[tex]Load[/tex] is the force in output to the machine - it is also called resistance force

[tex]Effort[/tex] is the force in input to the machine

For the person and the wheelchair in this problem, we have:

[tex]Effort = 93 N[/tex] (force applied in input)

MA = 7 (mechanical advantage)

Solving the equation, we find the resistance force:

[tex]Load = MA\cdot Effort = (7)(93)=651 N[/tex]
