A block and tackle pulley arrangement has 6 pulleys in which an effort of 50N supports a load of 200N, calculate the efficiency of the machine
- 80.0%
- 76.6%
-
66.7%
- 60.7%
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Efficiency = \(\frac{ma}{V.R}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)V.R = number of pulleys = 6
ma = \(\frac{\text{Load}}{\text{Effort}}\) = \(\frac{200}{50}\) = 4
Effiecieny = \(\frac{4}{6}\) × 100 = 66.67%
