If an input force of 202N is applied to the handles of the wheelbarrow in the sample problem how large is the output force that just lifts the load?

Respuesta :

For this case, the relationship between the two forces is given by:

F1 = nF2

Where,

  • F1: output strength
  • F2: input force
  • n: mechanical advantage

Then, replacing the values we have:

F1 = (2.2)(202)

Having the calculations we have:

F1 = 444.4N

Answer: The output force that only lifts the load is F1 = 444.4N.
