उत्तर
The diagram of a single fixed pulley is shown alongside. If T is the tension in each strand of the string and in the ideal case string is massless and there is no friction in the pulley bearings, then in equilibrium, E = T and L = T
(i) Mechanical advantage = `"L"/"E"="T"/"T"=1`
(ii) If the effort E moves a distance d downwards, the load L moves the same distance d upwards.
So, velocity ratio = `"d"_"E"/"d"_"L"="d"/"d"=1`
(iii) Efficiency =`"M.A."/"V.R."=1/1` = 1 (or 100%).
