A block and tackle system has the velocity ratio 3. A man can exert a pull of 200 kgf. What is the maximum load he can raise with this pulley system if its efficiency is 50%?
300 kgf
E = 1n(number of pulleys)
200 = L3
L = 600 kgf
Efficiency = 50% = 50100 × 600 = 300
Maximum load that can be raised = 300 kgf
