A machine has a velocity ratio of 4. It is used to raise a load of 400N by 4m using an effort 20kgf. Find the work done on the machine. Take g = 10 m/s2.
3200 J
Work obtained from machine is = Load × displacement = 400 × 4 = 1600 J,
M.A = loadeffort = 400200 = 2,
Efficiency = M.AV.R = 24 = 12,
Percentage efficiency = 12 × 100% = 50%,
Work done on the machine (input) = outputefficiency = 1600(1/2) = 3200 J
