Homework Statement



a car jack applies a force of 3000N to lift one side of a car a distance of 10 cm. in order to accomplish this the person using the jack needed to apply a force of 1200N to the handle moving it 30 cm. what is the jack's efficiency?

Homework Equations



eff = (mgh/f*d) x 100%
