Is the above pulley system an ideal machine or not?
Select the correct alternative:
A pulley is used because of it
Give two reasons why the efficiency of a single movable pulley system is not 100%.
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:
In case of a block and tackle arrangement, the mechanical advantage increases with the increase in the number of pulleys.
What is a block and tackle system of pulleys?
Give a reason for the following:
In a single fixed pulley, the velocity ratio is always more than the mechanical advantage.
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.
In the alongside the figure of two pulleys shown a system in which one pulley is fixed and the other is movable. What is the velocity ratio of the system?
An effort of 600 N is needed to lift a weight of 1000 N. What are the mechanical advantage and efficiency of the pulley system?
