A. Density of metal can’t be determined
B. Metal is twice as dense as water
C. Metal will float in water
D. Metal is twice as dense as unknown fluid
Coulomb friction is the friction between
A. Bodies having relative motion
B. Two dry surfaces
C. Two lubricated surfaces
D. Solids and liquids
General machines have an efficiency of less than 50%. Hence velocity ratio(VR) is always greater than mechanical advantage(MA). Since efficiency = MA/VR
