A movable pulley of negligible mass has a rim radius of \(0.20\,\text{m}\). The axle of the pulley exerts a constant resisting torque of \(5\,\text{N·m}\) due to friction. A load of mass \(40\,\text{kg}\) is attached to the pulley, and a horizontal force \(F\) is applied to the free end of the rope, pulling upward. (a) Determine the minimum magnitude of \(F\) required to lift the load at constant speed. (b) Calculate the mechanical efficiency of the system under this condition. Use \(g=9.8\,\text{m s}^{-2}\).

Answer Options

A. F≈2.8×10^2 N; efficiency≈95 %
Correct Answer B. F≈2.2×10^2 N; efficiency≈89 %
C. F≈2.0×10^2 N; efficiency≈80 %
D. F≈1.6×10^2 N; efficiency≈70 %
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
F≈2.2×10^2 N; efficiency≈89 %
