If the mechanical advantage of a machine is 4. What is its ratio of load to effort?

A. 4:01
B. 1:04
C. 5:01
D. 2:01

Correct Answer:

Option A – 4:01

Explanation

Mechanical advantage (M.A) of a machine is the ratio of its load to effort

Mathematically

Mechanical advantage (M.A) = Load (L) ÷ Effort (E)

In symbol M.A = L/E

Note: Mechanical (advantages has no S.I unit)

If M.A = 4 then,

L/E = 4/1

The ratio of load to effort = 4 : 1 respectively
