A pulley system lifts a load of \(200\ \text{N}\) through a vertical distance of \(2\ \text{m}\) in \(5\ \text{s}\). The effort applied to the rope is a constant force of \(80\ \text{N}\) acting over a distance of \(6\ \text{m}\). (a) Calculate the mechanical advantage, efficiency and power output of the pulley system. (b) An inclined plane of length \(5\ \text{m}\) raises the same load to the same height. A person pushes parallel to the plane with a constant force of \(100\ \text{N}\) over the full length in the same \(5\ \text{s}\). Which device is more efficient? State the efficiency of each device (to one decimal place) and identify the more efficient one.

Answer Options

A. Pulley: efficiency = 85.0 %, power = 85 W; Inclined plane: efficiency = 80.0 %; Pulley is more efficient.
B. Pulley: efficiency = 75.0 %, power = 70 W; Inclined plane: efficiency = 78.5 %; Inclined plane is more efficient.
C. Pulley: efficiency = 83.3 %, power = 80 W; Inclined plane: efficiency = 85.0 %; Pulley is more efficient.
Correct Answer D. Pulley: efficiency = 83.3 %, power = 80 W; Inclined plane: efficiency = 80.0 %; Pulley is more efficient.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Pulley: efficiency = 83.3 %, power = 80 W; Inclined plane: efficiency = 80.0 %; Pulley is more efficient.
