16.

If a cyclist puts 600 J of work on his bicycle and the bicycle gives out 140 J of useful work. Calculate the efficiency of a cyclist.

a)

{ Work Output / Work Input } × 100 %

   = {140 x 600} × 100 %

   = 8400000 %

b)

{ Work Output / Work Input } × 100 %

   = {140 / 600} × 100 %

   = 23.3 %
