उत्तर
To raise a load, the load is attached to one end of the string and the effort is applied at the other end by pulling it is a downward direction . as shown in fig.

A pulley system with VR = 4 is used to lift a load of 175 kgf through a vertical height of 15 m. The effort required is 50 kgf in the downward direction. (g = 10 N kg-1)
Calculate:
- Distance moved by the effort
- Work done by the effort
- M.A. of the pulley system
- Efficiency of the pulley system
Select the correct alternative:
A pulley is used because of it
State two functions of a machine.
What is a pulley?
Name the type of single pulley that can act as a force multiplier. Draw a labelled diagram of the pulley mentioned by you.
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)?

Give reason for the following:
The lower block of a block and tackle pulley system must be of negligible weight
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%
State two reasons, why the efficiency of a pulley system is not 100 percent?
