A boy uses a single fixed pulley to lift a load of 50 kgf to some height. Another boy uses a single movable pulley to lift the same load to the same height. Compare the effort applied by them. Give a reason to support your answer.
A pulley system with VR = 4 is used to lift a load of 175 kgf through a vertical height of 15 m. The effort required is 50 kgf in the downward direction. (g = 10 N kg-1)
Calculate:
- Distance moved by the effort
- Work done by the effort
- M.A. of the pulley system
- Efficiency of the pulley system
The pulley system has drawn lifts a load of 150 N when an effort of 60 N is applied. Find its mechanical advantage.
The mechanical advantage of an actual pulley is less than one. Give a reason. What is the justification for using the pulley then?
Answer the following in short.
Explain the various functions that a machine can perform.
In a gear system, the gear ration of the driving wheel A and driven wheel B is 10:1. To rotate the driven wheel B in the direction of driving wheel A, the driving wheel A is engaged with other wheel C. what should be the gear ratio of the wheels A and C?

(i) How many strands of tackle are supporting the load?
(ii) Draw arrows to represent tension in each stand.
(iii) What is the mechanical advantage of the system?
(iv) When load is pulled up by a distance 1 m how far does the effort end move?
A type of single pulley is very often used as a machine even though it does not give any gain in mechanical advantage. For what purpose is such a pulley used?
