#### Question

In a block and tackle system consisting of 3 pulleys, a load of 75 kgf is raised with an effort of 25 kgf. Find: (i) the mechanical advantage, (ii) velocity ratio and (iii) efficiency.

#### Solution

Load = 75 kgf
Effort = 25 kgf
n = 3
MA = Load/Effort = 75/25 = 3
or MA = n = 3
velocity ratio VR= n = 3
Efficiency η = "𝑀.𝐴"/"𝑉.𝑅"= 3/3 = 1 𝑜𝑟 100%

Is there an error in this question or solution?
