Question 2 • GA-GSE Physical Science B

Jill applies a force of 250 N to a machine. The machine applies a force of 25 N to an object. What is the mechanical advantage of the machine?

Answer
A
0.1
B
10
C
225
D
275

Explanation

Mechanical advantage is output force divided by input force. The machine’s output force is 25 N, and Jill’s input force is 250 N, so 25 ÷ 250 = 0.1. Therefore, the mechanical advantage is 0.1.
