The correct Answer is:
To find the efficiency of the pulley system, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the useful work done The useful work done (W_useful) is the work done to lift the mass. This can be calculated using the formula: \[ W_{\text{useful}} = mgh \] where: - \( m = 75 \, \text{kg} \) (mass) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity) - \( h = 3 \, \text{m} \) (height lifted) ### Step 2: Calculate the useful work done Substituting the values into the formula: \[ W_{\text{useful}} = 75 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 3 \, \text{m} \] \[ W_{\text{useful}} = 75 \times 10 \times 3 = 2250 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 3: Identify the total work done The total work done (W_total) is the work done by the applied force. This can be calculated using the formula: \[ W_{\text{total}} = F \times d \] where: - \( F = 250 \, \text{N} \) (force applied) - \( d = 12 \, \text{m} \) (distance the rope is pulled) ### Step 4: Calculate the total work done Substituting the values into the formula: \[ W_{\text{total}} = 250 \, \text{N} \times 12 \, \text{m} \] \[ W_{\text{total}} = 3000 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the efficiency Efficiency (η) is given by the ratio of useful work done to total work done: \[ \eta = \frac{W_{\text{useful}}}{W_{\text{total}}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \eta = \frac{2250 \, \text{J}}{3000 \, \text{J}} \] \[ \eta = 0.75 \] ### Step 6: Convert efficiency to percentage To express efficiency as a percentage, multiply by 100: \[ \eta_{\text{percentage}} = 0.75 \times 100 = 75\% \] ### Final Answer The efficiency of the pulley system is **75%**. ---

To find the efficiency of the pulley system, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the useful work done The useful work done (W_useful) is the work done to lift the mass. This can be calculated using the formula: \[ W_{\text{useful}} = mgh \] where: ...
