The efficiency of a machine is 80%. If it lifts a load of 500 N through 2 m, effort applied through 10 m. Effort is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The efficiency of a machine is 80%. If it lifts a load of 500 N through 2 m, effort applied through 10 m. Effort is
A. 125 N
B. 100 N
C. 80 N
D. 200 N
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Work output = 500×2=1000 J. Work input = output/eff = 1000/0.8=1250 J. Effort = Work input / distance = 1250/10 = 125 N.

Sound resonance used in:
A. Both
B. Musical instruments
C. Tuning forks
D. Neither

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Resonance amplifies sound at natural frequency: instruments (guitar body), tuning forks (frequency standard). Memory tip: 'Resonance: musical instruments (amplify), tuning forks (calibration), avoid in bridges'. Wave application frequently tested in competitive exams.

The purpose of choke in a fluorescent lamp is to
A. Convert AC to DC
B. Limit current and provide high voltage at start
C. Produce heat
D. Store energy

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:

The slope of a displacement-time graph for uniform motion is
A. Displacement
B. Acceleration
C. Zero
D. Velocity

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Displacement-time graph slope = Δx/Δt = average velocity. For uniform motion, velocity constant, graph is a straight line, slope equals velocity. Acceleration would be slope of velocity-time graph. Thus, slope represents velocity. Exam trick: slope of x-t graph gives instantaneous velocity.
