The input work on a pulley system is 75 J. If the pulley system is 84 percent efficient, then what is the output work from the pulley system?

Respuesta :

Answer: 63 J

Explanation:

The effiency ([tex]E[/tex]) of a machine is given by the ratio between the output work [tex]W_{out}[/tex] and the input work [tex]W_{in}[/tex]:

[tex]E=\frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]E=84\%=0.84[/tex]

[tex]W_{in}=75 J[/tex]

Isolating [tex]W_{out}[/tex]:

[tex]W_{out}=E W_{in}[/tex]

[tex]W_{out}=(0.84)(75 J)[/tex]

Finally:

[tex]W_{out}=63 J[/tex]
