Is retractable measuring tape a simple machine?

A simple machine is a device that multiply an applied force by the use of the mechanical advantage built into the machine. Therefore, a simple machine changes the direction in which the applied force acts or the magnitude of the applied force, or both in order to do work

A retractable measuring tape is a device used for length measurement such that the direction of the applied force is reversed during retraction, while the magnitude of the output force is constant and dependent on the coil in the measuring

Therefore, the measuring tape does not have a constant mechanical advantage or act as a force multiplier, and therefore;

It is not a simple machine

Explanation:

its a circle not a square that's simple silly.

explanation:

96.77 amp

explanation:

rl = 250/100 = 2.5 ohms.

egl = 250 + (100 × 0.1) + 2 = 262 v.

at 700 r.p.m., eg2 = 262 × 700/1000 = 183.4 v.

if ia is the new current, then eg2 - 2 - (ia × 0.1) = 2.5 ia

which means this will give ia = 96.77 amp.
