    				| 1. | Define the term efficiency of a machine. | 
| Answer» The efficiency of any machine measures the DEGREE to which FRICTION and other FACTORS reduce the actual work output of the machine from its theoretical maximum. A frictionless machine would have an efficiency of 100%. A machine with an efficiency of 20% has an output only one fifth of its theoretical output. | |
