A type of single pulley is very often used as a machine even though it does not give any gain in mechanical advantage. Name the type of pulley used.
A ‘block and tackle’ system used 3 pulleys in the lower block and 4 pulleys in the upper block. What is the ‘velocity ratio’ of this system? If the load is to be lifted by a person capable of applying a maximum effort of 1000 N, what is the maximum load than can be lifted under ideal conditions?
The actual maximum load that gets lifted turns out to be 6300 N. What are the values of the actual M.A. and efficiency of the set-up?
A boy lifts a load of 40 kgf through a vertical height of 2m in 5s by using a single fixed pulley when he applies an effort of 48 kgf. Calculate:
(i) the mechanical advantage, and
(ii) the efficiency of the pulley. Why is the efficiency of the pulley is not 100%?
(iii) the energy gained by the load in 5s, and
(iv) the power developed by the boy in raising the load.
