The diagram above illustrates a block ans tackle pulley system in which an effort E supports a load of 100.0N. If the efficiency of the machine is 75%, calculate the value of E

A.

22.2N

B.

38.0N

C.

67.0N

D.

75.0N

Correct answer is A

Given; VR = 6, e = 75%, MA = ?

e = \(\frac{\text{MA}}{\text{VR}} \times \frac{100}{1}\)

MA =\(\frac{75 \times 6}{10}\)

MA = \(\frac{9}{2}\)

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

\(\frac{9}{2} = \frac{100}{E}\)

9E = 100

E = \(\frac{200}{9}\)

= 22.2N

A body of mass 1000kg is released from a height of 10m above the ground. Determine its kinetic energy just before it strikes the ground .[g = 10ms-2]

A.

10J

B.

103J

C.

104J

D.

105J

Correct answer is D

Ke = mgh

Ke = Pe

\(\frac{1}{2}\)MV2 = mgh

Ke = 1000 x 10 x 10

Ke = 100000J

Ke = 105J

A uniform bar AB is balanced on a knife-edge which is 60cm from B by a mass of 22g which hangs at C 10cm from A. Calculate the mass of the bar.

A.

133.2g

B.

66.0g

C.

60.0g

D.

22.0g

Correct answer is B

clockwise movement = anticlockwise movement

w x 10 = 22 x 30

w = \(\frac{22 \times 30}{10}\)

w = 66.0g
