Question on: JAMB Physics - 2020

The fiqure above represents a block-and-tackle pulley system on which an effort of W Newtons supports a load of 120.0N. If the efficiency of the machine is 40\(^o\), then the value of W is 

A

28.0N

B

48.0N

C

288.0N

D

50.0N

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D

V.E = 6, load = 120N 

Efficiency = M.A x \(\frac{1}{V.R}\) x 100%

40 = \(\frac{120}{effort}\) x \(\frac{1}{6}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\) 

Effort = 50N
