(a) State the relationship between mechanical advantage, velocity ratio and efficiency.
(a) State the relationship between mechanical advantage, velocity ratio and efficiency.

(b) Name the term that will not change for a machine of a given design.

Solutions:

(a) A machine’s mechanical advantage is the product of its efficiency and velocity ratio.
M.A = V.R × η
(b) For a machine of a certain design, the velocity ratio does not change.
