The correct answer is: \(70 \mathrm{~J}\)
Energy spent by the machine to raise the body of mass \(10 \mathrm{~kg}\) at certain height, is \(E=100 \mathrm{~J}\)
Since, machine is only \(70 \%\) efficient.
Hence, energy used by machine,
\(\begin{aligned}
E^{\prime} & =70 \% \text { of } E \\
& =\frac{70}{100} \times 100=70 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}\)
When body is released, then whole energy spent by machine is converted into kinetic energy on reaching the ground.
\(\therefore\) Kinetic energy, \(K=E^{\prime}=70 \mathrm{~J}\)
