A gardener uses a wheelbarrow to carry a bag of mulch (decaying leaves, bark and compost) that weighs 150 lbs. and requires 60 lbs. of effort. The distance from the wheel’s axle to the effort is 8 feet. a). What is the Actual Mechanical Advantage of the Wheelbarrow? b). What is the distance from the Wheel’s axle to the Load?
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
