Work Energy And Power Ques 72

72. A force of $250$ $ N$ is required to lift a $75$ $ kg$ mass through a pulley system. In order to lift the mass through $3 $ $m$, the rope has to be pulled through $12 $ $m$. The efficiency of system is

[2001]

(a) $50 \%$

(b) $75 \%$

(c) $33 \%$

(d) $90 \%$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 72.(b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Efficiency $=\frac{\text{ output work }}{\text{ input work }}$

i.e., Efficiency,

$=\frac{75 g \times 3}{250 \times 12}=\frac{75 \times 10 \times 3}{250 \times 12}=0.75=75 \%$
