An inclined plane at an angle of 15o is used to lift a 250 kg sofa through a vertical height of 5 meters. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.12, what is the Mechanical Advantage, Ideal Mechanical Advantage, and efficiency of the plane?
You’re using a system of multiple simple machines to move a 1500 N load up a height of 2 meters. You have a wheel barrow which is a combination of a lever and a wheel/axle, and you’ll be using a ramp (inclined plane).
What length ramp do you need to achieve the actual mechanical advantage from using the wheel-barrow? The height is set at 2 meters. Assume the efficiency of the inclined plane (ramp) is 100% (so your ideal, or design, mechanical advantage is your actual mechanical advantage).
A steam engines raises a 1800 kg mass vertically at the rate of 9 m/s. What is the power of the engine assuming an efficiency of 70%? The correct answer is 227 kW.
