A force of 900 N pushes a wedge 0.10 m into a log. If the work done on the log is 50 J, what is the efficiency of the wedge? HEL

55.56%

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the work done in pushing the wedge. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 900 N

Distance (s) = 0.1 m

Workdone (Wd) =..?

Wd = F × s

Wd = 900 × 0.1

Wd = 90 J

Finally, we shall determine the efficiency. This can be obtained as follow:

Work output = 50 J

Work input = 90 J

Efficiency =?

Efficiency = work output / work input

Efficiency = 50 / 90 × 100

Efficiency = 55.56%

Thus, the efficiency is 55.56%

what is the question because that is not a question.
