A type of single pulley is very often used as a machine even though it does not give any gain in mechanical advantage. For what purpose is such a pulley used?
Draw the diagram of a single movable pulley and obtain its mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, and efficiency.
A pulley system has a velocity ratio of 4 and an efficiency of 90%. Calculate:
(i) the mechanical advantage of the system.
(ii) the effort required to raise a load of 300 N by the system.
A ‘block and tackle’ system used 3 pulleys in the lower block and 4 pulleys in the upper block. What is the ‘velocity ratio’ of this system? If the load is to be lifted by a person capable of applying a maximum effort of 1000 N, what is the maximum load than can be lifted under ideal conditions?
The actual maximum load that gets lifted turns out to be 6300 N. What are the values of the actual M.A. and efficiency of the set-up?

- Draw a labelled diagram of the system indicating clearly the direction of the load and effort.
- Calculate the potential energy of the load 100 kgf lifted by this pulley to a height 5 m. (g = 10 ms−2)
