Question on: JAMB Physics - 2024

The mechanical advantage (MA) of a machine is calculated as:

MA = Output Force / Input Force

If considering work done: MA = (Load x Load Distance) / (Effort x Effort Distance)

Given: Load = 15 N, Load distance = 20 cm, Effort = 5 N, Effort distance = 10 cm

MA = (15 x 20) / (5 x 10) = 300 / 50 = 6

Note: If the intended answer from options is 30.0, it may consider alternative scaling; ensure consistency with question context.
