Yosef applies an input force of 50 N to a crowbar. The crowbar applies a force of 750 N to the lid of a crate. What is the mechanical advantage of the crowbar?



The mechanical advantage of the crowbar is
.

Explanation:

Given that,

Input force applied by the Yosef to a crowbar, [tex]F_1=50\ N[/tex]

Output force applied by the crowbar, [tex]F_2=750\ N[/tex]      

We need to find the mechanical advantage of the crowbar. The mathematical formula of the mechanical advantage is given by :

MA = output force/input force

[tex]MA=\dfrac{F_2}{F_1}[/tex]    

[tex]MA=\dfrac{750}{50}[/tex]            

MA = 15

So, the mechanical advantage of the crowbar is 15. Hence, this is the required solution.
