A man who works for a moving company is loading a box onto a moving van. He pushes a 200N box up a 5m long ramp. If he pushes with a force of 60N and the ramp is 1m high, what is the efficiency of the inclined plane

η = 0.667 = 66.7%

Explanation:

The efficiency of the man can be given by the following formula:

η = output/input

where,

η = efficiency of man = ?

output = potential energy gain of the box = Wh

input = work done by man = Fd

Therefore,

where,

W = weight of box = 200 N

h = height gained by box = 1 m

F = force exerted by man = 60 N

d = length of ramp = 5 m

Therefore,

η = 0.667 = 66.7%

a.) is the correct answer.
