Question on: JAMB Physics - 2001

The diagram above is a block and tackle pulley system in which an effort of 80N is use to lift a load of 240N. The efficiency of the machine is
A
60%
B
50%
C
40%
D
33%
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Since the number of pulleys present is 6, it implies that the velocity ratio VR = 6
∴ efficiency = M.A
x100
1

V.R

= Load/Effort x 1/V.R x 100/1
= 240/80 x 1/6 x 100/1
= 50%
∴ Efficiency = 50%
