Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .

You hold a metal block of mass 40 kg above your head at a height of 2 m.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=40\ kg

Height to which it is raised is, h=2\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N. Now,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.
