प्रश्न
A man raises a load of 360 kgf using a block and tackle system of 3 pulleys. If the efficiency of the pulley system is 60%, what effort is applied by the man?

उत्तर
Given: L = 360 kgf, E = ?, Efficiency = 60% = 0.6,
Velocity ratio = No. of pulley in the system = 3.
Mechanical advantage (M.A.) = V.R. × Efficiency
= 3 × 0.6
= 1.8
But, M.A. =`"Load(L)"/"Effort(E)"`
∴ Effort (E) =`"Load(L)"/"M.A."`
= `360/1.8`
= 200 kgf.
