A plane inclined at an angle at 30° to the horizontal has an efficiency of 50%. The force parallel to the plane required to push a load of 120 N uniformly up the plane is

  • A. 40N
  • B. 60N
  • C. 120N
  • D. 200N

Correct Answer: C. 120N

Explanation

E = M.A/V.R ; 50/100 = M.A/2 M.A = 1; L/E = 1 E = L = 120N
