If the mechanical advantage of a machine is 4. What is its ratio for LOAD to EFFORT?
4:01
1:04
5:01
2:01
Correct answer is A
Mechanical advantage (M.A) of a machine is the ratio of its load to effort
Mathematically
Mechanical advantage (M.A) = Load (L) ÷ Effort (E)
In symbol M.A = L/E
Note:Mechanical (advantages has no S.I unit)
If M.A = 4 then,
L/E = 4/1
The ratio of load to effort = 4 : 1 respectively
If the velocity ratio of a machine is 5. What is its ratio of x and y?
2 : 5
1 : 5
5 : 1
3 : 1
Correct answer is C
Velocity Ratio (V.R) = distance moved by the effort (x)÷ distance moved by the load (y)
i.e. V.R = x/y
v. R = 5, x/y = ?
i.e x/y = 5/1; , where x = 5, y = 1
x : y = 5 : 1
2sec
3sec
35sec
2.4sec
Correct answer is A
Using the equation
S = ut + ½ gt2
H = s = 20m, t = ?
G =10m/s2, u = 0m/s
20 = 0 × t × ½ × 10 t
20 = 5t
i.e 5t2 = 20
t = 20/5 = 4
t = 4 (squaring both sides)
√ t2 = √4
= 2sec
∴ t = 2sec
0.11kg
0.12kg
0.13kg
0.14kg
Correct answer is A
Heat capacity (o) = mass (kg) specific heat of a substance (C2)
i.e Q = MC
where Q = 40 J/L, m = ?(380 J/Kgk)
40 = m × 380
m = 0.11kg (Approx)
2 sec
3 sec
4 sec
3.2 sec
Correct answer is D
From S = ut + ½gt2
u = 0ms-1
50 = (0 × t) + ½(10)(t2)
50 = 5.0t2
t2 =50/5
t = √10
t = 3.2sec
