The mechanical efficiency of this machine is 30 percent.
Efficiency is nothing but calculating how the machine is performing for what it has been made for, Efficiency is usually calculated in % as (output/input )X100. for Eg. the Thermal efficiency of an reciprocating gasoline engine can be calculated as follows, Let, the input for an reciprocating engine is 12MJ and its out put is 4MJ then Efficiency is (4/12)X100 = 33%
The reason why amachine cant be one hundred percent effective is as a result of losses.For Electrical machine such as alternator we have Mechanical losses(such as windage and frictional losses)and Electrical losses(such as copper loss in the rotor winding and stator winding).In Mechanical machine the main losses are windage and frictional losses.NOTE;ALL THIS LOSSES RESULT IN THE PRODUCTION OF HEAT,THUS REDUCING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE MACHINE.

That's the "mechanical advantage" of the machine.
