Gear Ratio = effort gear divided by load gear
- A.
  
  A
- B.
  
  B
- C.
  
  C
Correct Answer
A. A

Explanation
The given statement explains the concept of gear ratio, which is calculated by dividing the number of teeth on the effort gear by the number of teeth on the load gear. This ratio determines the mechanical advantage of a gear system, indicating how much the input force is multiplied or reduced by the gear system. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Please answer this question on a separate sheet of paper. You may include drawings.For the multiple choice part, in order for the girl to lift the man, the effort arm of the lever should be:
- A.
  
  The same length
- B.
  
  Shorter
- C.
  
  Longer
Correct Answer
C. Longer

Explanation
In order for the girl to lift the man using a lever, the effort arm of the lever should be longer. A lever is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar that rotates around a fixed point called a fulcrum. The effort arm is the distance between the fulcrum and the point where the effort is applied. By increasing the length of the effort arm, the girl can exert a greater force on the lever, allowing her to lift the man. This is because a longer effort arm increases the leverage and mechanical advantage of the lever, making it easier to overcome the weight of the man.

Please choose all the ways a machine makes work easier from below.
- A.
  
  Changes direction of force
- B.
  
  Multiplies effort force
- C.
  
  Increases speed of force
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
All of the options mentioned in the question (changes direction of force, multiplies effort force, and increases speed of force) are ways in which a machine can make work easier. By changing the direction of force, a machine can allow us to apply force in a more convenient or efficient direction. By multiplying the effort force, a machine can help us exert a greater force than we would be able to do without it. And by increasing the speed of force, a machine can help us complete tasks more quickly. Therefore, all of these ways contribute to making work easier when using a machine.
