Question

A machine has a useful power output of 900 W and a total power input of 1200 W. In a given time, 72 kJ of energy is transferred to the machine. Calculate the amount of energy usefully transferred by the machine in this time.

yxng.edxn · Accepted Answer

Efficiency = useful output / total input
⁹⁰⁰⁄₁₂₀₀ = 0.75

Useful output = total input × efficiency 
0.75 × 72,000 = 54,000 J

72 kJ = 72,000 J
