Efficiency=MA/VR
MA(Mechanical Advantage)=W/P
W=1000, P=80, VR=20
If Efficiency is equal to MA and VA then Machine is ideal
Efficiency is greater than 50% then Machine is Reversible
Efficiency is less than 50% then Machine is non reversible or self locking machine
W= 1000N P=80N V.R= 20
WE KNOW, EFFICENCY= M.A / V.R
M.A= W/P = 1000/80= 12.5
EFFICENCY= 12.5/20= 0.625 = 62.5%
M.a- load lift to efforts applied 1000/80=12.5
12.5/20×100= 62.5>50 reversible
Reversible machine : A machine which is capable of doing work in the reverse direction even after the removal of effort ,load get lifted is called Reversible machine.
Non - Reversible machine : A machine which is not capable of doing work in the reverse direction is called Non - Reversible machine. {It is also called self- locking machine} {For non-reversible machine efficiency will be less than 50%}
The term ideal machine refers to a hypothetical mechanical system in which energy and power are not lost or dissipated through friction, deformation, wear, or other inefficiencies.
Efficiency =Mechanical advantage /velocity ratio
=12.5/20 *100= 62.5 >50 %
how?
