Q: If a machine only changes the direction of a force without changing the ratio of the output/input forces, then what is its associated mechanical advantage?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

For machines that change only the direction of the force, such as the rope systems on flagpoles, the output force is the same as the input force. Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 1.

 Choices:

- 4

- 1.5

- 2

- 1


A:
1
