Aramp is 3.0 meters long and 1.5 meters high. the distant of the effort, therefore, is the length of the ramp and the resistance distance is the height of the ramp. if it takes 60.0 n of force to move a crate that weighs 105 n up the ramp, what is the efficiency of the ramp?

For the given problem, the calculated efficiency of the ramp is 87.5 %.

Explanation:

The efficiency of any instrument or machine is defined as the percentage of ratio of work obtained from the instrument for a given amount of input work. So in this case, the efficiency of the ramp can be calculated as the ratio of real mechanical advantage to ideal mechanical advantage.

The ideal mechanical advantage is the measure of the work done by us on the crater. So it can be calculated as the ratio of distance covered for a given effort also known as effort distance to the resistance distance of the ramp.

And the real mechanical advantage is the measure of work done by the crater for the given input force. So, it is calculated as the ratio of resistance force to effort force.

For the given situation, the effort distance is the length of the ramp i.e. 3 m and the resistance distance is the height of the ramp i.e., 1.5 m. And the effort force is the amount of force required to perform a work i.e., 60 N and the resistance force is the normal force acting on the crate i.e., 105 N.

So, the mathematical representation of all the parameters are as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}{\text { Efficiency }=\frac{\text { Real Mechanical Advantage }}{\text { Ideal Mechanical Advantage }} \times 100 \%} \\ {\text { Real Mechanical Advantage }=\frac{\text { Resistance force }}{\text { Effort force }}=\frac{105}{60}=1.75}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Ideal Mechanical Advantage }=\frac{\text { Effort distance }}{\text { Resistance distance }}=\frac{3}{1.5}=2} \\ {\text {Efficiency }=\frac{1.75}{2} \times 100 \%=87.5 \%}\end{array}$

Thus, the efficiency of the ramp is 87.5 %.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i.e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?
