A pulley system with VR = 4 is used to lift a load of 175 kgf through a vertical height of 15 m. The effort required is 50 kgf in the downward direction. (g = 10 N kg-1)
Calculate:
- Distance moved by the effort
- Work done by the effort
- M.A. of the pulley system
- Efficiency of the pulley system
From the diagram given below. answer the question that follows:
1) What kind of pulleys are A and B?
2) State the purpose of pulley B.
3) What effort has to be applied at C just raise the load L = 20 kgf?
(Neglect the weight of pulley A and friction)
