प्रश्न
State two reasons, why the efficiency of a pulley system is not 100 percent?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The two reasons are:
(i) Some effort is used (or wasted) in overcoming the friction between the string and the grooves of the pulleys.
(ii) Some effort is used up (wasted) in lifting up the movable block along with the load.
On account of the above two reasons, effort applied is always more than the load lifted up and so the M.A. is always less than 1. Hence efficiency is always less than 100%.
