While rowing in a race, John pulls the handle of an oar 0.80 m on each
stroke. If the oar has a MA of 1.5, how far does the blade of the oar move
through the water on each stroke?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Stroke D (Output Distance) = 0.533 meter (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Stroke D (Input Distance) = 0.80 meter

Mechanical advantage (MA) = 1.5

Find:

Stroke D (Output Distance) = ?

Computation of Stroke D (Output Distance) :

⇒ Stroke D (Output Distance) = Stroke D (Input Distance) / Mechanical advantage (MA)

⇒Stroke D (Output Distance) = 0.80 meter / 1.5

Stroke D (Output Distance) = 0.533 meter (Approx)

The output distance will be "0.533 m".

According to the question,

Input distance,

  • Stroke D = 0.80 m

Mechanical advantage,

  • MA = 1.5

The output distance is:

= [tex]\frac{Inp \ Distance}{Mechanical \ advantage}[/tex]

By putting the values,

= [tex]\frac{0.80}{1.5}[/tex]

= [tex]0.533 \ m[/tex]

Thus the above answer is right.
