How efficient is a pulley system if it enables you to lift a 600.0 Newton engine 0.600 meters if you exerted 35.7 Newtons of force while pulling 11.43 meters of rope?

Respuesta :

Answer:

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of the pulley system can be given as follows:

[tex]\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{In}}\\\\[/tex]

where,

η = efficiency of pulley system = ?

W_out = Output Work = (600 N)(0.6 m) = 360 J

W_in = Input Work = (35.7 N)(11.43 m) = 408.051 J

Therefore,

[tex]\eta = \frac{360\ J}{408.051\ J}[/tex]

η = 0.882 = 88.2 %
