What is a pulley?
Differentiate between a single fixed pulley and a single movable pulley.
Name a machine to change the direction of force ?
A pulley system has a velocity ratio 3. Draw a diagram showing the point of application and direction of load (L), effort (E) and tension (T). It lifts a load of 150 N by an effort of 60 N. Calculate its mechanical advantage. Is the pulley system ideal? Give reason.
What is a block and tackle system of pulleys?
There is no gain in mechanical advantage in the case of a single fixed pulley. Explain, why the pulley is then used?
In the case of a block and tackle arrangement, the mechanical advantage increases with the number of pulleys. Explain.
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.
Draw a diagram showing a block and tackle system of 4 pulleys.

(ii) Draw arrows to represent tension in each strand.
(iii) Find the mechanical advantage of the system, stating the assumptions made.
(iv) If the load is pulled up by a distance 1m, how much does the effort end move?
