प्रश्न
The diagram below shows an arrangement of three pulleys A, B, and C. The load is marked as L and the effort as E.
- Name the Pulleys A, B, and C.
- Mark in the diagram the directions of load (L), effort (E) and tension T1 and T2 in the two strings.
- How are the magnitudes of L and E related to the tension T1?
- Calculate the mechanical advantage and velocity ratio of the arrangement.
- What assumptions have you made in parts (c) and (d)?

उत्तर
(a) Pulleys A and B are movable pulleys. Pulley C is a fixed pulley.
(b)

(c) L = 4T1; E = T1
(d) M.A. = `L/E`
M.A. = `(4T_1)/T_1`
M.A. = 4
V.R. = `(4d)/d = 4`
(e)
- There is less weight on pulleys A and B.
- There's no friction at all between the axle and the pulleys.
