What is the relation between MA and VR in a practical machine?
Added by Julian E.
Step 1
Mechanical Advantage (MA) is the ratio of the output force (or load) to the input force (or effort) in a machine. It is a measure of how much a machine can multiply the input force to overcome the load. Mathematically, MA = Load / Effort. Show more…
