Thanks again eczeno, i have one more question, how do i calculate the useful energy output of this system if the work input is 3000j, woulkd this question be related to ma?

Thank you eczeno, will i need to convert the ratio into a decimal, and i take it that this will be like a dimensionless result, i.e not a measured unit? Thanks for your help

The 3000j input relates to a subquestion in this asking what would then be the useful work output

Thank you I think that makes perfect sense to me, so in other words if the short end being 1m and the long end being 5m, we can use these distances to then give us the VR. for example 1/5. Thats the way I have interpreted your description. Your wise words and patience are very helpful.

I used the 1 / 6 because of the assumption that vr = ma in frictionless systems, so i assumed that the 1 being distance from the fulcrum and 6 being the 5m plus the 1. So i take it I am completley barking up the wrong tree here? In what way would I be able to use geometry to solve this...

Homework Statement 1962N Load 5 m from effort (hydraulic ram) and fulcrum 1m from effort. Calculate the Velocity ratio, if work input is 3000j calculate work output. Homework Equations VR = distance moved by effort / distance moved by load effort = 11772N MA = load / effort =...
