A 20kg mass is to be pulled up a slope inclined at 30o to the horizontal. If the efficiency of the plane is 75%, the force required to pull the load up the plane is [g = 10ms-2]
- A. 13.3N
- B. 73.5N
- C. 133.3N
- D. 53.2N
Correct Answer: C. 133.3N
Explanation
Efficiency = m.A x \(\frac{1}{V.R}\) X 100%
75 = \(\frac{20 \times 10}{effort}\) x \(\frac{1}{\frac{g}{sin\theta}}\) x 100%
Effort = 133.3N
