A block and tackle system of 5 pulleys is used to raise a load of 50 kgf steadily through a height of 20 m. The work done against friction is 2000J. Calculate the work done by the effort
A block and tackle system has 5 pulleys. If an effort of 1000 N is needed in the downward direction to raise a load of 4500 N, calculate :
(a) the mechanical advantage ,
(b) the velocity ratio, and
(c) the efficiency of the system.
