Draw a diagram of a block and tackle system of pulleys having a velocity ratio of 5. In your diagram indicate clearly the points of application and the directions of the load L and effort E. Also mark the tension T in each strand.
A block and tackle system has the velocity ratio 3. Draw a labelled diagram of the system indicating the points of application and the directions of load L and effort E. A man can exert a pull of 200 kgf. (a) What is the maximum load he can raise with this pulley system if its efficiency is 60% ? (b) If the effort end moves a distance 60 cm, what distance does the load move ?
