Answer:
Efficiency of the inclined plane is 56%
Explanation:
efficiency = (work output / work input) x 100%
efficiency = ([load force x load distance] x [effort force x effort distance]) x 100%
efficiency = (250 kg x 10 m) / (180 kg x 25 m) x 100%
efficiency = (2500kg/m) / (4500kg/m) x 100%
efficiency = 0.555 = 0.56 x 100%
efficiency = 56%
