A block and tackle system has six pulleys. a force of 50N applied to it lifts a load of weight W. If the efficiency of the system is 40%, calculate W

A.

300N

B.

200N

C.

140N

D.

120N

Correct answer is D

M.A = E×V.R100=40×6100=125

W = M.A x effort

= 125×50=120N

The engine of a train produces a force of 3000N when moving at 30.ms-1. calculate the power of the engine

A.

1.00 x 102W

B.

3.00 x 104W

C.

9.00 x 104W

D.

3.00 x 105W

Correct answer is C

P = FV

= 3 x 103 x 30

= 9 x 104W
