Answer:

83.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Lucy does 12,000 J of work on a machine to help her

The machine exerts a force of 500 N to lift the crate.

Height of the shelf = 20 m

We need to find the efficiency of the machine. The ratio of output work to the input work is called the efficiency of any machine. It is given by :


\eta=(W_o)/(W_i)* 100\\\\=(500* 20)/(12000)\\\\=83.34\%

So, the efficiency of the machine is 83.34%.
