A machine is used to lift a load of 20 N through a height of 10m. If the efficiency of the machine is 40%, how much work is done by the effort?

  • A. A. 300 J
  • B. B. 120 J
  • C. C. 80 J
  • D. D. 500JCorrect

Explanation

Workdone by load = 20x10 = 200J. Efficiency = (Workdone by load/Workdone by effort)x100%. 40% = (200/Workdone by effort)x100%. Workdone by effort = (200x100)/40 = 500J.
