Question

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300
N work input?

Given:
Solution:
Answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Efficiency = \frac {240}{300} * 100$

$Efficiency = 0.8 * 100$

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore, the mechanical efficiency of the machine is 80 percent.
