The radius of a wheel is 30.0 cm and that of its axle is 6.0cm. Calculate the effort required to lift a load of 120.0N using this machine. Assuming 100% efficiency

A.

600.0N

B.

40.0N

C.

24.0N

D.

20.0N

Correct answer is C

V.R = \(\frac{R}{r} = \frac{30}{6} = 5\)

\(\gamma = \frac{M.A}{V.R} \times \frac{100}{1} \)

M.A = \(\frac{100 \times 5}{100} = 5\)

Effort = \(\frac{L}{M.A} = \frac{120}{5}\)

= 24N
