प्रश्न
What is the relation between the mechanical advantage and the number of strands of string used to support the load, in a ‘block and tackle’ set-up?

उत्तर
The mechanical advantage is equal to the number of strands of string, used to support the load, only if the ‘block and tackle set up’ can be assumed to be ideal (absence of friction, etc.) and the lower blocks of pulleys have negligible weight. Both these conditions cannot be satisfied in actual practice. Hence, in practical situations, the M.A. of a ‘block and tackle set up’ is always less than the fire number of strands of string used to support the load.
