A 20kg mass is to be pulled up a slope inclined at 30° to the horizontal. If efficiency of the plane is 75%. The force required to pull the load up the plane is J [g=10ms(^{− 2})]

  • A.
    87N
  • B.
    73.5N
  • C.
    133.3N
  • D.
    533.2N
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

V. R = (frac{1}{Sinθ})

  m = 20kg

  V.R = (frac{1}{Sin 30})

  = 2

  Efficiency = 75%

  Load = mg

  = 20 x 10 = 200N

  Efficiency = (frac{M.A}{V.R} times 100)

  75/100 = (frac{M.A}{2})

  M .A = (frac{75 times 2}{100})

  M. A = 1.5

  Since M. A. = (frac{text{Load}}{text{Force}})

  Force = (frac{200}{1.5})

  = 133.3N
