A simple machine with an efficiency of 75% lifts a load of 5000N when a force of 500N is applied to it. Calculate the velocity ratio of the machine
A
10.0
B
13.3
C
17.5
D
25.0
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
M.A = \(\frac{load}{effort} \frac{5000N}{500N} = 10\)
V.R = \(\frac{M.A \times 100}{V} = \frac{10 \times 100}{75} = 13.3\)
