2. Emma squeezes the hand brakes of her bicycle
with a force of 60N. If the brake pads push on the
wheel with a force of 300N, what is the mechanical
advantage of this bike's brake system?

Answer:

5N

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for mechanical advantage is:

[tex]Mechanical \ Advantage = \frac{F_o}{F_i}[/tex]

Where "o" stands for output force and "i" stands for input force. Plug the given values into the equation:

[tex]Mechanical \ Advantage=\frac{300N}{60N}=5 N[/tex]

The mechanical advantage is 5N
