Akhil has to lift a load of $800N$ onto a platform of $2m$ height. Instead, he pushes the load up a ramp $4m$ long. Find the force required to lift the load vertically up.

  1. $200N$

  2. $600N$

  3. $400N$

  4. $800N$

D Correct answer
Explanation

The vertical force is the gravitational force means weight of the load. 

According to question, the weight of load is $mg=800 N$, this will be the required force to lift the load vertically.

Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

  1. In a first order lever, the fulcrum is placed between the effort and the load

  2. The mechanical advantage of a second class levers is greater than $1$ as load is situated in between to effort and fulcrum.

  3. An inclined plane in a hospital, helps pushing a wheel chair easily.

  4. A crow bar is an example of second class lever

D Correct answer
Explanation

A crowbar is a classic example of a first-class lever, where the fulcrum is between the effort and the load. Therefore, stating it is a second-class lever is incorrect.

The ratio of the work output to the work input of a machine is

  1. mechanical advantage

  2. efficiency

  3. work

  4. power

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Efficiency is the (often measurable) ability to avoid wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time in doing something or in producing a desired result. In a more general sense, it is the ability to do things well, successfully, and without waste. In more mathematical or scientific terms, it is a measure of the extent to which input is well used for an intended task or function (output).
