Answer:
5
Explanation:
From the attachement,
M.A = Load(L)/Effort(E)
M.A = L/E...................... Equation 1
Where M.A = .Mechanical Advantage, L = Load, E = Effort.
Given: L = 500 N, E = 100 N
Substitute these values into equation 1
M.A = 500/100
M.A = 5.
Hence the actual mechanical advantage of the pulley is 5
