- Work done by the effort
- M.A. of the pulley system
- Efficiency of the pulley system

What is a block and tackle system of pulleys?
A type of single pulley is very often used as a machine even though it does not give any gain in mechanical advantage. For what purpose is such a pulley used?
Draw the diagram of a single movable pulley and obtain its mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, and efficiency.
