To chop wood, you apply 50.0 n of force to an ax. the ax applies 600.0 n of force to the wood. what is the mechanical advantage of the ax? 650.0 8.3 12.0 0.0833 40 points for right answer

MA = 12.0

Explanation: The mechanical advantage is deffined as the "amplification" of the force done by a tool.

If the imput force is 50N, and the output force is 600N, the mechanical advantage can be calculated as:

MA = Fo/Fi

where Fo is the output force and Fi is the imput force.

MA = 600N/50N = 12.0

Then the mechanical advantage of the axe is 12.0
