#### Question

A pulley system has a velocity ratio 3 and an efficiency of 80%. Draw a labelled diagram of this pulley system Calculate:
(a) the mechanical advantage of the system and

(b) the effort required to raise a load of 300 N.

#### Solution

A pulley system has a velocity ratio = 3
Efficiency of system = 80 % = 0.8
Mechanical advantage of the system M.A = V.A × η = 3 × 0.8 = 2.4
Effort required to raise the load = Effort = "𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 "/"𝑀.𝐴"= 300/2.4  =  125N

Is there an error in this question or solution?
