Question

A machine in which displacement of load is more than the displacement of effort, will have the velocity ratio:
A. More than 1
B. Less than 1
C. Equal to 1
D. All

Answer 1

Hint:The velocity ratio is the ratio of effort or displacement velocities to load velocities or displacement velocities. If a machine's velocity ratio is greater than one, it means the machine is a force multiplier and causes speed loss.

Complete answer:
A machine in which displacement of load is more than the displacement of effort, will have the velocity ratio more than 1. A ship's displacement, often known as displacement tonnage, is its weight. It is measured indirectly, as the name implies, using Archimedes' technique, by first estimating the volume of water displaced by the ship and then converting that figure to weight. Varying measurement rules have been used in the past, yielding various measures in long tonnes. Metric tonnes are more widely used nowadays.

Displacement of effort is defined as the ratio of the distance moved by effort and load, in the same time interval. Poor data on the number and use of commercial fishing licences, as well as a lack of understanding of individual fishing businesses' reliance on specific fishing grounds, limited the effectiveness of a structural adjustment package designed to compensate fishermen and minimise displacement of effort.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Note: When a machine's Velocity Ratio (VR) number is less than 1, the machine is said to give a speed gain. The velocity of the load is greater than the velocity of the effort in this situation, as shown by equation 1.
