In a single fixed pulley, if the effort moves by a distance x downwards, by what height is the load raised upwards ?
In fig. draw a tackle to lift the load by applying the force in the downward direction.
(a) Mark in the diagram the direction of load L and effort E.
(b) If the load is raised by 1 m, through what distance will the effort move ?
(c) State the number of strands of tackle supporting the load.
(d) What is the mechanical advantage of the system ?
