The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the relationship between Mechanical Advantage (M.A.), Load (L), and Effort (E), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Mechanical Advantage (M.A.)**: It is defined as the ratio of Load (L) to Effort (E). Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ M.A. = \frac{L}{E} \] 2. **Rearranging the Formula**: - From the definition, we can rearrange the formula to express Load in terms of Mechanical Advantage and Effort: \[ L = M.A. \times E \] 3. **Identifying the Options**: - The options provided are: - A) \( M.A. = L \times E \) - B) \( M.A. \times E = L \) - C) \( E = M.A. \times L \) - D) None of these 4. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: \( M.A. = L \times E \) is incorrect based on our derived formula. - **Option B**: \( M.A. \times E = L \) is correct as it directly follows from our rearrangement. - **Option C**: \( E = M.A. \times L \) is incorrect as it does not match our derived formula. - **Option D**: "None of these" is incorrect because option B is valid. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct relationship is given by option B: \( M.A. \times E = L \). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **B) \( M.A. \times E = L \)**.
