Forexample,ifefficiencyis90%,thatmeans90%oftheinputenergygoestomovingthe load. Theother10%is“wasted”orusedtowardsotherthings,suchasovercomingfrictionorlifting themachineitself(exthelever). Toincreasetheefficiencyofamachine: - Makethemachineaslightaspossible(noexcessweighttolift) - Minimizefrictionbyensuringallsurfacesthatmakecontactaresmooth. .
