Question

If a machine requires an input of 600 J of work to put out 5000 J of work, what is the machine's efficiency?
efficiency= output work/ input work x 100%

A.100%
B.83%
C.120%
D.40%

The problem statement gives more output than input. It is impossible.
I suspect it means
600 in
and
500 out
100 *(5/6) = 83.33 percent

Efficiency = output work / input work x 100%

Given:
Input work = 600 J
Output work = 5000 J

Efficiency = 5000 J / 600 J x 100%
Efficiency = 8.33 x 100%
Efficiency = 833%

The machine's efficiency is 833%, which is not one of the given options.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the efficiency correctly.

Efficiency = output work / input work x 100%

Given:
Input work = 600 J
Output work = 5000 J

Efficiency = 5000 J / 600 J x 100%
Efficiency ≈ 833.33%

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the machine's efficiency is approximately 833%.

The correct answer is:
B. 83%

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. Let's recalculate using the corrected values.

Input work = 600 J
Output work = 500 J

Efficiency = output work / input work x 100%
Efficiency = 500 J / 600 J x 100%
Efficiency ≈ 83.33%

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the machine's efficiency is approximately 83%.

The correct answer is:
B. 83%
