The diagram represents a block-and-tackle pulley system on which an effort of 50N is just able to lift a load of weight W. If the efficiency of the machine is 40%. find the value of W

A.

300N

B.

200N

C.

140N

D.

120N

E.

20N

Correct answer is D

Eff = \(\frac{MA}{VR}\) x 100%

40 = \(\frac{MA}{60}\)

MA = 240

\(\frac{L}{E} = \frac{240}{100}\)

W = L = \(\frac{240}{100}\) x 50

= 120N

An orange fruit drops to the ground from the top of a tree 45m tall. How long does it takes to reach the ground? (g = 10ms-2)

A.

3.0s

B.

4.5s

C.

6.0s

D.

7.5s

E.

9.0s

Correct answer is A

s = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}gt^2\)

45 = 0 + 5t2

t = 3s
