A plane inclined at 30^o to the horizontal has an efficiency of 50%. Calculate the force parallel to the plane required to push a load of 120N uniformly upon the plane

50.0N

120.0N

200.0N

240N

Correct answer is B

V.R = \(\frac{1}{sin\theta} = \frac{1}{sin 30} = 2\)

M.A = \(\frac{E \times V.R}{100} = \frac{50 \times 2}{100} = 1\)

Effort = \(\frac{load}{M.A} = \frac{120}{1} = 120N\)
