(Solved)
The following figure shows a wheel and axle used to raise a load W by applying an effort F. The radius of the larger wheel is R and the small wheel is y.
Given that v = 5cm and R is 8cm, determine the effort required to raise a load of 20N if the efficiency of the system is 80%.

(Solved)
A student designed a transformer to provide power to an electric bell marked 24W, 6V from a 240V mains. He wound 50 turns and N turns on an iron ring. When he a connected the coil of 50 turns to the bell and the N turns coil to an a.c, he found that the transformer was only 60% efficient. Find:
(i) The value of N
(ii) The power in the coil with N turns
