Question

Why does the screw have a very low efficiency?

Because with a low effort it can lift large loads.
Because it take a huge effort to turn in order to lift large loads.
Because the input work is much greater than the output work.

Answer 1

For something to have a low efficiency, it would have to require more input work than output work. The answer is the third and last choice.

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is (C).

Explanation :

The efficiency of the screw is given by :

`\eta=(W_(o))/(W_(i))* 100`

Where,

`W_o` is the output energy

`W_i` is the input energy

So, the screw have a very low efficiency. This is because the input work is much greater than the output work.

Hence, the correct option is (C).
