Question
The truck in which
you were seated sank
into the mud. You and
the person driving the
Vehicle want to lift the
truck using a branch.
You apply a force of
600 N to the branch
which acts as a lever.
The rear of the truck
weighs 2,400 N. What
is the mechanical
gain of the lever arm?

Answer:
m = 4
Explanation:
We have,
You apply a force of 600 N to the branch which acts as a lever. It means it is input force, IF = 600 N
The rear of the truck weighs 2,400 N. It means it is output force, OF = 2400 N
The ratio of output force to the input force is equal to the mechanical advantage of the lever arm. It is given by :
So, the mechanical gain of the lever arm is 4.
