Answer:
the pulley system is very efficient
Explanation:
Given;
load, L = 250 N
distance moved by the load, a = 4.5 m
distance moved by the effort, e = 2.5 m
let the force or effort applied = F
Apply the principle of conservation of energy;
F x e = L x a
F = (L x a) / e
F = (250 x 4.5) / 2.5
F = 450 N
The efficient of the pulley system;
E = Output force / Input force
E = (450 x 2.5) / (250 x 4.5)
E = 1 = 100%
Therefore, the pulley system is very efficient
