Question

You’re using a system of multiple simple machines to move a 1500 N load up a height of 2 meters. You have a wheel barrow which is a combination of a lever and a wheel/axle, and you’ll be using a ramp (inclined plane).
a. If you want to apply a maximum effort force of 50 N – what does the actual mechanical advantage of the compound machines need to be?

b. The wheel barrow in problem above has the following dimensions 
Wheel axle radius: 7.5 cm
Wheel outer radius: 25 cm
Load distance to fulcrum: 55 cm Handle distance to fulcrum: 200 cm
What is the wheel barrow’s total ideal mechanical advantage?

c. Due to a rusty wheel axle, the wheel-barrow in problem above only has an efficiency of 65%. What is the actual mechanical advantage of the wheel barrow?
