A machine receives 1200 J of input work and loses 300 J due to friction. Its efficiency is:
✓ Answer:C75%
Useful output work = 1200 − 300 = 900 J. Efficiency = 900/1200 × 100 = 75%.
92
A 100 N effort moves through 6 m and lifts a 300 N load through 2 m. The efficiency is:
✓ Answer:B75%
Input work = 100 × 6 = 600 J. Output work = 300 × 2 = 600 J. Efficiency = 600/600 × 100 = 100%.
93
A machine has MA = 0.5. Which statement is correct?
✓ Answer:BLoad is half the effort
MA = Load/Effort = 0.5, so the load is half the effort. Such a machine may be used for speed or distance advantage rather than force multiplication.
94
Which relationship is correct for an ideal machine?
✓ Answer:AMA = VR
For an ideal machine, efficiency is 100%, so MA/VR = 1 and therefore MA = VR.
95
If a machine has MA = 6 and lifts a 1200 N load, the effort is:
✓ Answer:B200 N
E = L/MA = 1200/6 = 200 N.
96
A machine uses 400 N effort to lift a 1000 N load. If the effort distance is 5 m and load distance is 1 m, its efficiency is:
✓ Answer:B50%
MA = 1000/400 = 2.5. VR = 5/1 = 5. Efficiency = (2.5/5) × 100 = 50%. Therefore the correct option is B.
97
A machine uses 400 N effort to lift a 1000 N load. If the effort distance is 5 m and load distance is 1 m, its efficiency is:
✓ Answer:B50%
MA = 1000/400 = 2.5. VR = 5/1 = 5. Efficiency = (MA/VR) × 100 = (2.5/5) × 100 = 50%. Therefore, option B is correct.
98
A machine has MA = 4 and efficiency = 80%. Its velocity ratio is:
✓ Answer:C5
η = MA/VR × 100. Thus 80 = 4/VR × 100, so VR = 5.
99
A 500 N load is lifted by an effort of 250 N. If the load moves 1 m and the effort moves 3 m, efficiency is:
