Question

are mechanical advantage and efficiency {related to machines } physical quantities ,if so what are their dimensional formulas ?

Open in App
Solution

Mechanical Advantage =W
F

mechanical advantage is a dimensionless quantity

As dimensional formula for Weight and force are as follows so they will cancel each other Work=M1L1T-2and Force = M 1L1T-2

Efficiency , ɳ= W/PV

W=M1L1T-2

Velocity = [LT-1]

Power= M1L2T-3

ɳ= W/PV = [L-2T1]
