Expert Answer:
A pulley is a metallic (or wooden) disc with a grooved rim. A string or a rope or a chain is passed around the groove at the rim.The pulley can rotate about an axle passing through its centre. The axle is fixed rigidly to a frame by nails.
The load is connected to one end of the inextensible string that is wound around the grooved rim of the pulley. And effort is applied to the other free end of the string. As the pulley rotates around about the axle , when an effort is applied to the free end of the string in the downward direction it causes the load connected to the other end of the string to move in the upward direction.Thus the load is lifted upwards by applying effort in the downward direction.

- A pulley is used to lift a load of 180kgf by applying an effort of 90kgf in the downward direction. calculate the work done by the effort applied on pulley
- In block and tackle system, why the mechanical advantage and the velocity ratio of the pulley system is equal to the number of pulleys that are present in the particular pulley system?

- Please tell me this question
- A block and tackle system has 4 Pulley to lift the load of 840 Newton through a distance of 12 metre the weight of the movable Pulley is 20 Newton
- the velocity ratio of block and tackle system of police 9 if its efficiency is 95% done by applying an effort of 250 Newton what maximum load can be lifted by pulley system
- what is the First Method Of Combination Of Pulley ?
- ex. 3b numerical 11
- ex. 3b numerical 10
- A block and tackle system has velocity ratio 3 . Draw a labelled diagram of system indicating the point of application and direction of load and effort. A man can exert a pull of 200 kgf. a) what is maximum load he can raise with this pulley system if its efficiency is 60%? b) if effort end moves a distance 60 cm,what distance does the load move?
