Mechanical Advantage  __//**Solving the Problems:**//__ //**1.) The effort distance is the distance you put in to moving the object which would be 10 meters, the resistance distance is the distance the object moves which is 2 meters. So the calculation would be MA=De/Dr or MA=10/2 which would mean** ** the MA would be 5. 2.) The force you put in would be the Fin which would be 50 newtons, the force your pulling would be Fin or 400 newtons. So the calculation would be MA=Fout/Fin or MA=400N/50N which would mean the MA would be 8. 3.) The effort distance would be the one you pull on which would be the input arm with a 6 meter distance, the resistance distance would be the output arm that the object would sit on which would be 2 meters. So the calculation would be MA=De/Dr or MA=6m/2m which would mean the MA would be 3. **//
