A box with nails, the weight of which is 54 kg, is lifted to the fifth floor of a house under construction

A box with nails, the weight of which is 54 kg, is lifted to the fifth floor of a house under construction, with the help of a movable block acting on a cable 360 newtons. Calculate the plant efficiency.

Efficiency = A useful / A spent
And useful = 54 * 10 s J – the work of moving the box to a height s – height of 5 floors
And spent = 360 * 2 * s, here 2 s, because the movable block gives a loss in the length of the cable
Efficiency = 0.75 = 75%
Answer: 75%
