    Question

    An effort of 5 units is applied on a 10-unit load. The distance travelled by the effort and the load are 50 and 20 units, respectively. Find the efficiency of this machine.

    A.

    50%

    B.

    60%

    C.

    70%

    D.

    80%

    Correct option is D


    Given: Effort = 5 units
    Load = 10 units
    Mechanical advantage = Load  / Effort  =10/5=2unit
    and velocity ratio = Distance travelled by effort  / Distance travelled by load 
    =50/20
    From formula Mechanical advantage = Velocity ratio × Efficiency
