A 20kg mass is to be pulled up a slope inclined at 300 to the horizontal. If efficiency of the plane is 75%. The force required to pull the load up the plane is J [g=10ms−2]
Answer Details
The force required to pull a 20kg mass up a slope inclined at 300 can be calculated using the formula:
force = mass * gravity * sin(angle)
where mass is 20kg, gravity is 10 m/s^2 and angle is 300.
The formula for efficiency is:
efficiency = output force / input force
where output force is the force required to pull the mass up the slope and input force is the force applied to the rope.
Since the efficiency of the plane is 75%, the input force is 4 times the output force.
So, the output force can be calculated as:
output force = input force / 4
input force = mass * gravity * sin(angle) / efficiency
input force = 20 * 10 * sin(300) / 0.75
input force = 533.2 N
And the output force can be calculated as:
output force = input force / 4
output force = 533.2 / 4
output force = 133.3 N
So, the force required to pull the load up the plane is 133.3 N.
