The Prehistory of Jazz. The Africanization of American Music. An elderly black man sits astride a large cylindrical drum. Using his fingers and the edge of his hand, he jabs repeatedly at the drum head--which is around a foot in diameter and probably made from an animal skin--evoking a throbbing pulsation with rapid, sharp strokes.
nope, efficiency o fa machine cannot be greater than 100%...theoretically it shows sometime that efficiency of a machine can be 100%, but practically it cannot be possible as â¦ there is some loss of energy is always involved in different ways. Answer   In order for a machine to be 100% efficient, the amount of energy going into it has to be precisely equal to the energy the machine is putting out-with nothing lost.
Mechanical efficiency. Mechanical efficiency, measure of the effectiveness with which a mechanical system performs. It is usually the ratio of the power delivered by a mechanical system to the power supplied to it, and, because of friction, this efficiency is always less than one. For simple machines, such as the lever and the jackscrew, the efficiency is the actual load lifted divided by the theoretical force delivered.
