(i)
(ii)
(b) Identify any one instrument man can use to harvest the following;
(i) Hydro - electricity
(ii) Wind

Answer

  1. The type of simple machine drawn above is a lever.

  2. The mechanical advantage (MA) of the machine is calculated as the ratio of the load force to the effort force. Given the load force is 20 kgf and the effort force is 4 kgf, the MA = 20 kgf / 4 kgf = 5.

  3. (i) Water

    (ii) Wind

  4. (i) An instrument to harvest hydro-electricity is a turbine.

    (ii) An instrument to harvest wind is a wind turbine.
