Derive a relationship between mechanical advantages, velocity ratio and efficiency of a machine. 


Let a machine overcome a load L by the application of an effort E.

In time t, let the displacement of effort be dE and the displacement of the load be dL

Work input = Effort × displacement of effort

                = E × d

Work output = Load × Displacement of load 

                  = L × dL  

Efficiency space equals space fraction numerator Work space Output over denominator Work space Input end fraction

fraction numerator straight L straight space cross times straight D subscript straight L over denominator straight E straight space cross times straight D subscript straight E end fraction space equals space straight L over straight E straight space cross times straight space straight D subscript straight L over straight D subscript straight E space equals straight L over straight E cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator bevelled straight d subscript straight E over straight d subscript straight L end fraction 

But, Error converting from MathML to accessible text. 

                       = d subscript E over d subscript L equals V. R.


Efficiency comma space straight eta equals straight space fraction numerator straight M. straight A. over denominator straight V. straight R. end fraction

M.A. = V.R. × straight eta


Thus, the mechanical advantage of a machine is equal to the product of it’s efficiency and velocity ratio
