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.
Select the correct alternative:
A pulley is used because of it
Draw a neat labelled diagram showing a pulley being used to lift a load. How are load and effort related in an ideal situation?
In which direction does the force need to applied, when a single pulley is used with a mechanical advantage greater than one? How can you change the direction of force applied without altering its mechanical advantage? Draw a labelled diagram of the system.
What is a block and tackle system of pulleys?
Give a reason for the following:
In a single fixed pulley, the velocity ratio is always more than the mechanical advantage.
Give reason for the following:
The efficiency of a pulley is always less than 100%
The alongside figure shows the combination of a movable pulley P1 with a fixed pulley P2 used for lifting up a load W.
(i) State the function of the fixed pulley P2.
(ii) If the free end of the string moves through a distance x, find the distance by which the load W is raised.
(iii) Calculate the force to be applied at C to just raise the load W = 20 kgf, neglecting the weight of the pulley P1 and friction.
A block and tackle system of pulleys has a velocity ratio of 4.
- Draw a labelled diagram of the system indicating clearly the points of application and directions of load and effort.
- What is the value of the mechanical advantage of the given pulley system if it is an ideal pulley system?
