Why is mechanical advantage less than the velocity ratio of a real machine ?

Open in App

Solution

The mechanical advantage (M.A) of a real machine is always less than its velocity ratio(V.R) because mechanical advantage decreases due to the friction and weight of moving parts of the machine whereas the velocity ratio remains constant.
