Calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a pair of scissors where the length of the blade is 5 cm and the length of the handle is 2.5 cm.

Respuesta :

Answer:

m = 0.5

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of the blade of scissors = 5 cm

The length of the handle = 2.5 cm

Here, effort arm is 2.5 cm and load arm is 5 cm. The mechanical advantage is the ratio of effort arm to the load arm as follows :

[tex]m=\dfrac{2.5}{5}\\\\m=0.5[/tex]

So, the ideal mechanical advantage of a pair of scissors is 0.5.
