Solution
A load of 300N is to be lifted by a machine with a velocity ratio of 2 and an efficiency of 60%. What effort will be applied to lift the load?
A
100N
B
150N
C
250N
D
400N
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Efficiency = \(\frac{\text{ M.A}}{\text{V.R}}\) x 100
M.A = \(\frac{\text{LOAD}}{\text{EFFORT}}\)
V.R = 2, Eff. = 60% = 0.6, Load = 300N
0.6 = \(\frac{\text{M.A}}{2}\)
M.A = 1.2
1.2 = \(\frac{300}{\text{E}}\)
Effort = \(\frac{300}{1.2}\) = 250N

Solution
When a bus is accelerating, it must be
A
changing its speed
B
changing its velocity
C
changing its position
D
changing its direction
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. This means a bus can accelerate by changing its speed, direction, or both. However, the most general definition of acceleration involves a change in velocity.
