So, the required efficiency is 25%.
Given,
Distance of the applied force from the fulcrum=2.00 m
Distance from the fulcrum to the load =0.500 m
Mechanical advantage:
Mechanical advantage is a form of calculation that measures the amplified force taken by the mechanical system. It gives the ratio between the force applied to the load and the force needed to overcome the given force.
The formula of mechanical advantage is given as:
[tex]M_A=\frac{F_B}{F_A}[/tex]
Now, substituting the given values into the above formula,
[tex]M_A=\frac{0.500}{2}\\ =0.25[/tex]
Now, the ideal mechanical advantage will be,
[tex]effeciency=\frac{M_A}{I_A}\\ =\frac{0.25}{1} \\=25[/tex]
