The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the effects of lubricating a machine with oil, we will analyze how lubrication impacts mechanical advantage and mechanical efficiency. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mechanical Advantage (MA)**: - Mechanical Advantage is defined as the ratio of output force (F2) to input force (F1). - Formula: \( MA = \frac{F2}{F1} \) 2. **Understanding Mechanical Efficiency (η)**: - Mechanical Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output work (W_out) to input energy (W_in). - Formula: \( η = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}} \) 3. **Effect of Lubrication on Friction**: - When a machine operates, friction is present between its moving parts, which resists motion and reduces output work. - Lubricating the machine with oil reduces friction, allowing parts to move more freely. 4. **Impact on Output Work**: - With reduced friction, the output work (W_out) increases because the machine can perform more useful work with the same input energy (W_in). - Thus, \( W_{out} \) increases when lubrication is applied. 5. **Calculating Mechanical Efficiency Post-Lubrication**: - Since the output work increases while the input energy remains constant, the mechanical efficiency (η) of the machine increases. - Therefore, \( η_{new} > η_{old} \). 6. **Impact on Mechanical Advantage**: - The mechanical advantage is influenced by the forces involved. However, lubrication primarily affects the efficiency rather than the ratio of forces. - Without specific information about the output and input forces, we cannot definitively state that mechanical advantage increases or decreases. Thus, we cannot conclude that MA changes significantly. 7. **Conclusion**: - After lubrication, we can confidently say that the mechanical efficiency of the machine increases due to reduced friction. However, we cannot make a definitive statement about mechanical advantage without additional information on forces. ### Final Answer: The correct option is that the **Mechanical efficiency of the machine increases**.
