With the help of a movable block, a load of a certain mass was raised to a height of 4 m, while a force of 100 N was applied to the free end of the rope, determine the mass of the load if the installation efficiency is 80%.
These tasks: h (height of lifting of a load of a certain mass) = 4 m; the lifting of the load was carried out by a movable block; F (applied force) = 100 N; η (efficiency of the installation used) = 80% (0.8).
Constants: g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2.
The mass of the cargo can be expressed from the formula for calculating the efficiency of the installation: η = Ap / Az = ΔEp / Az = m * g * h / (F * S) = m * g * h / (F * 2h) = m * g / 2F , whence m = 2F * η / g.
Calculation: m = 2 * 100 * 0.8 / 10 = 16 kg.
Answer: The weight of the lifted load is 16 kilograms.
