The mechanical advantage of an actual pulley is less than one. Give a reason. What is the justification for using the pulley then?
Answer the following in detail.
How does a pulley make work simpler?
A block and tackle pulley system has a velocity ratio 5. Draw a labelled diagram of this system. In your diagram, indicate clearly the points of application and the directions of the load and effort.
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.
The diagram below shows a pulley arrangement.

(i) In the diagram, mark the direction of the forces due to tension, acting on the pulley P.
(ii) What is the purpose of the pulley Q?
(iii) If the tension is T newton, deduce the relation between T and E.
(iv) Calculate the velocity ratio of the arrangement.
(v) Assuming that the efficiency of the system is 100%, what is the mechanical advantage?
(vi) Calculate the value of E

Draw the diagram of a single movable pulley and obtain its mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, and efficiency.
A block and tackle system of pulleys has a velocity ratio of 4.
- Draw a labelled diagram of the system indicating clearly the points of application and directions of load and effort.
- What is the value of the mechanical advantage of the given pulley system if it is an ideal pulley system?
A ‘block and tackle’ system used 3 pulleys in the lower block and 4 pulleys in the upper block. What is the ‘velocity ratio’ of this system? If the load is to be lifted by a person capable of applying a maximum effort of 1000 N, what is the maximum load than can be lifted under ideal conditions?
The actual maximum load that gets lifted turns out to be 6300 N. What are the values of the actual M.A. and efficiency of the set-up?
