To chop wood, you apply 50.0 n of force to an ax. the ax applies 600.0 n of force to the wood. what is the mechanical advantage of the ax? 650.0 8.3 12.0 0.0833 40 points for right answer

MA = 12.0

Explanation: The mechanical advantage is deffined as the "amplification" of the force done by a tool.

If the imput force is 50N, and the output force is 600N, the mechanical advantage can be calculated as:

MA = Fo/Fi

where Fo is the output force and Fi is the imput force.

MA = 600N/50N = 12.0

Then the mechanical advantage of the axe is 12.0

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
