Answer:
Mechanical advantage = 4.9
Explanation:
Given:
Effort required to lift the water is, [tex]\textrm{Effort}=200\ N[/tex]
Load of water that is lifted is, [tex]\textrm{Load}=980\ N[/tex]
We know that, mechanical advantage of a machine is obtained by dividing the load by effort force.
Therefore, mechanical advantage is given as:
[tex]MA=\frac{\textrm{Load}}{\textrm{Effort}}\\\\MA=\frac{980}{200}\\\\MA=4.9[/tex]
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the prince's machine is 4.9.
