When the same amount of force is applied :

A boy can exert a maximum force of $10$kg, i.e he cannot lift vertically a load of mass more than $10$kg. Now if he wants to raise a load of mass $20$kg on to a high eall, he can do it with the help of an inclined place making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Find $\theta$.

The velocity ratio of a machine is 1 if 

As the closeness of threading increases in a screw :

It is harder to cut an apple with a butter knife, because :

If a machine overcomes a load $L$ and the distance travelled by the load is $25 m$. Similarly, the effort applied in the machine is $E$ and the distance travelled by effort is $75 m$, and $'T'$ is the time taken,then velocity ratio is:

A load will be lifted by an effort of 12 N, the velocity ratio is 18 and the efficiency of the machine at this load is 60%, if the machine has a constant frictional resistance, determine the law of machine.

In a simple machine, whose velocity ratio is $30$, a load of $2400$ N is lifted by an effort of $150$ N and a load of $3000$ N is lifted by an effort of $180$ N. Find the law of machine -

In a simple machine, whose velocity ratio is $30$, a load of $2400 N$ is lifted by an effort of $150$ N and a load of $3000$ N is lifted by an effort of $180$ N. Calculate the amount of effort wasted in overcoming the friction using a force of $200 N$. 

A machine gun is mounted on a 2000 kg car on a horizontal frictionless surface. At some instant, the gun fires 10 bullets/second, each of mass 10 g with a velocity of 500 m s$^{-1}$. The acceleration of the car is
