For lifting a load of 50 kg through a distance of 2.5 cm, an effort of 12.5 kg is moved through a distance of 40 cm. The efficiency of the lifting machine, is
Three forces acting along the sides of a triangle are always in equilibrium
If the forces acting on a particle be represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in order, their resultant will be represented in magnitude and direction by the third
If three forces acting on a, point can be represented in magnitude and direction, by the sides of a triangle taken in order, these will be in equilibrium
Three forces acting at a point, can be rep-resented by the sides of a triangle, each side being in proportion to the force
For moderate speeds the force of friction remains constant but decreases slightly with the increase of speed
The magnitude of the kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. The ratio being slightly less than that in the case of limiting friction
All of these
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which a body is moving
