Efficiency is calculated through dividing the actual mechanical advantage by the hypothetical mechanical advantage:
- the actual mechanical advantage is 9J because that's how much work the light bulb doing
- the hypo. mechanical advantage is 100J. Ideally, in a perfect world, the light bulb can convert 100J input into 100J output, but do to resistance and other factors it is not possible.
change the decimal to a percentage:
the light bulb had 9% efficiency
