Question: The circular handle of a faucet is attached to a rod that opens and closes a valve when the handle is turned. If the rod has a diameter of 1cm and the IMA of the machine is 6, what is the radius of the handle?

Answer:

Radius of the handle = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Explanation:

Mechanical Accuracy, MA = (Radius of the handle)/(Radius of the rod).......(1)

Diameter of the rod = 1 cm

Radius of the rod = Diameter/2

Radius of the rod = 1/2

Radius of the rod = 0.5 cm

Mechanical Accuracy of the machine, MA = 6

Substitute the values into equation (1)

6 =  (Radius of the handle)/0.5

Radius of the handle = 6 * 0.5

Radius of the handle = 3 cm

The Radius of the handle is = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Calculation of the radius of the handle:

Since

Mechanical Accuracy, MA = (Radius of the handle)/(Radius of the rod)

Here,

Diameter of the rod = 1 cm

We know that

The radius of the rod = Diameter/2

So,

Radius of the rod = 1/2

So,

Radius of the rod = 0.5 cm

Now

Mechanical Accuracy of the machine, MA = 6

Now

6 =  (Radius of the handle)/0.5

Radius of the handle = 6 * 0.5

Radius of the handle = 3 cm
