Solution

The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the force produced by the machine to the force applied to it. In this case, the mechanical advantage of the wheelchair ramp is given as 20.

The formula for mechanical advantage (MA) is:

MA = Load Force (LF) / Effort Force (EF)

We can rearrange this formula to solve for the effort force:

EF = LF / MA

Substituting the given values:

EF = 1000 N / 20

EF = 50 N

So, the effort force needed to lift a load of 1000 N is 50 N.
