Answer:
0.36cm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Output distance = 2.0cm
M.A = 5.5
Unknown:
Input distance = ?
Solution:
The mechanical advantage is the value of the force multiplier.
M.A = Output distance / Input distance
Input distance = Output distance / mechanical advantage
Input distance = [tex]\frac{2.0cm}{5.5}[/tex] = 0.36cm
