A wheel and axle of radii 800mm and 200mm respectively is used to raise a body of weight 800N by the application of 250N. Calculate the efficiency of the machine
A
85%
B
80%
C
60%
D
20%
correct option: b

V.R = (\frac{R}{r} = \frac{800}{200} = 4)

M.A = (\frac{L}{E} = \frac{800}{250} = 3.2)

y = (\frac{M.A}{v.R} \times \frac{100}{1} = 80)%
