A boy uses a single fixed pulley to lift a load of 50 kgf to some height. Another boy uses a single movable pulley to lift the same load to the same height. Compare the effort applied by them. Give a reason to support your answer.
The pulley system has drawn lifts a load of 150 N when an effort of 60 N is applied. Find its mechanical advantage.
Select the correct alternative:
A pulley is used because of it
The mechanical advantage of an actual pulley is less than one. Give a reason. What is the justification for using the pulley then?
In which direction does the force need to applied, when a single pulley is used with a mechanical advantage greater than one? How can you change the direction of force applied without altering its mechanical advantage? Draw a labelled diagram of the system.
The diagram below shows a pulley arrangement.
- Name the pulleys A and B.
- In the diagram, mark the direction of tension on each strand of string.
