A machine of efficiency 80% is used to lift a box. If the effort applied by the machine is twice the weight of the box. Calculate the velocity ratio of the machine

  • A. 0.50
  • B. 0.63
  • C. 0.80
  • D. 1.60

Correct Answer: B. 0.63

Explanation

Y = \(\frac{M.A}{V.R} \times \frac{100}{1}\)

= \(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{V.R} \times \frac{100}{1}\)

V.R = 0.625
