Question

A machine can act as a force multiplier and speed multiplier simultaneously.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

The ratio of load arm to effort arm is termed as the mechanical advantage(M.A) of a machine. A machine cannot act as a force multiplier and a speed multiplier simultaneously because for speed multiplier, M.A of the machine should be less than 1 and for force multiplier M.A should be greater than 1.
