प्रश्न
Diagram given below shows an arrangement of four pulleys. A load L is attached to the movable lower block and effort E is applied at the free end of the string.
Copy the diagram; and

(i) Draw arrows to indicate tension in each part of the string; and
(ii) Calculate the mechanical advantage of the system.

उत्तर
The following diagram shows a block and tackle system of 4 pulleys.
(i) The tension in each string is shown by the arrow marked as T.
(ii) If we neglect the friction of the pulleys and weight of the pulleys in the lower block, then
L = 4T and E = T

∴ Mechanical advantage =`"L"/"E"`
=`(4"T")/"T"`
= 4
