(ii) What work must be done must be done in lifting the load through a distance of 2 m using this machine?

There is no gain in mechanical advantage in the case of a single fixed pulley. Explain, why the pulley is then used?
What is the relation between the mechanical advantage and the number of strands of string used to support the load, in a ‘block and tackle’ set-up?
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.
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.
