What are the mechanical advantage and mechanical efficiency of a lever that requires an input force of 40 N and lifts and lifts a boulder that weighs 80 N?

2 , 200%

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage of a machine is defined as how much the machine multiplies the applied force.

It is given that :

Input force of the lever = 40 N

The weight of the boulder or the output force = 80 N

Therefore, the mechanical advantage = output force / input force

                                                               = 2

Mechanical efficiency is obtained by the dividing the output by the input and multiplying it with 100.

i.e. Efficiency = output / input x 100

                     = 200 %

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
