Question

2. What is meant by the statement that the MA of a simple machine is 3
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

MA of a machine is its mechanical advantage.

 Mechanical advantage is the ability of a machine to multiply force so as to get a work done.

• This is done by minimizing effort and maximizing the load or output.
• A MA of a simple machine with a value of 3 suggests that such a machine will multiply input force by a factor of 3.
• Therefore, such a machine will amplify the force input into the system.
