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
