Fig 3.40 Shows a Block and Tackle System of Pulleys Used to Lift a Load. (A) How Many Strands of Tackle Are Supporting the Load? (B) Draw Arrows to Represent Tension in Each Strand. (C) What is the Me - ICSE Class 10 - Physics

Question

Fig 3.40 shows a block and tackle system of pulleys used to lift a load.
(a) How many strands of tackle are supporting the load?
(b) Draw arrows to represent tension in each strand.
(c) What is the mechanical advantage of the system?
(d) When load is pulled up be a distance 1 m, how far does the effort end move?

Solution

(a) There are 4 strands of tackle supporting the load.
(b)

(c) The mechanical advantage of the system
MA = "𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑"/"𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡"= "4𝑇"/"𝑇"= 4
(d) When load is pulled up by a distance 1 m, the effort end will move by a distance = 1 x 4 = 4m.
