the efficiency of a wheel and axle system is 80% and the ratio of radius of a wheel to radius of axle is 4:1 in order to lift a mass of 2lg the effort required is​

The answer is 62.5N; Efficiency of the wheel and axle system(e)=80%
Velocity ratio of the system(V.R) = 4
Mechanical Advantage of the system(M.A) = ?
e = M.A/V.R ✖ 100
80% = M.A/4 ✖ 100
Make "M.A" the subject of the formula
M.A = 80/100 ✖ 4
M.A= 3.2
Load on the wheel and axle system (L) =20kg = 200N
Efforts required to lift the Load (E) = ?
M.A = Load/Effort
3.2 = 200/ Effort
Make Effort the subject of the formula
Effort = 200/3.2 = 62.5N
Therefore the Effort to lift a mass of 20kg is 62.5N

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
