A block of mass \(12\ \text{kg}\) is lifted vertically by a rope that passes over a fixed pulley of radius \(0.15\ \text{m}\). The pulley's axle has a bearing that exerts a constant frictional torque of \(0.30\ \text{N·m}\) opposing rotation. The system raises the block at constant speed. If the rope is pulled with a force \(F\), (a) find the magnitude of \(F\) required, and (b) calculate the overall mechanical efficiency of the system (output work divided by input work). Take \(g = 9.8\ \text{m s}^{-2}\).

Answer Options

A. F = 119.6 N; efficiency ≈ 90 %
B. F = 115 N; efficiency ≈ 95 %
C. F = 124 N; efficiency ≈ 99 %
Correct Answer D. F = 119.6 N; efficiency ≈ 98 %
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
F = 119.6 N; efficiency ≈ 98 %
