The alongside figure shows the combination of a movable pulley P1 with a fixed pulley P2 used for lifting up a load W.
(i) State the function of the fixed pulley P2.
(ii) If the free end of the string moves through a distance x, find the distance by which the load W is raised.
(iii) Calculate the force to be applied at C to just raise the load W = 20 kgf, neglecting the weight of the pulley P1 and friction.
If the weight of the movable pulley is W, obtain the expression for MA, VR, and efficiency.
