Question 51

A machine has a velocity ratio of 4. If it requires 800 N to overcome a load of 1600 N, what is the efficiency of the machine?
Show explanation Expand Question
Mechanical advantage = Load / Effort = 1600 / 800 = 2. Efficiency = (MA / VR) × 100 = (2 / 4) × 100 = 50%.

Question 52

A plane inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal has an efficiency of 50%. The force parallel to the plane required to push a load of 120 N uniformly up the plane is
Show explanation Expand Question
Velocity ratio = 1 / sin30° = 2. Effort = Load / (Efficiency × VR) = 120 / (0.5 × 2) = 120 N.
