The diagram below shows a wheel barrow with a load of 200 N.
Calculate the amount of force ‘E’, which will just lift the total weight of 200N
88N
250N
300N
80N
Load × Load arm = Effort × Effort arm
200 × 0.4 = Effort × 1
80N = Effort
Calculate the amount of force P which will just lift the total weight of 200 N acting on the wheelbarrow as shown in figure.
The diagram below shows a wheel barrow.
Calculate the MA of the Wheelbarrow.
The figure below shows a wheel barrow of mass 15 kg carrying a load of 30kgf with its centre of gravity at A. The points B and C are the centre of wheel and tip of the handle such that the horizontal distance AB= 20 cm and Ac = 40 cm.
Find : (a) the load arm, (b) the effort arm, (c) the mechanical advantage, and (d) the minimum effort required to keep the leg just off the ground.
