The given figure shows a block and tackle system of pulleys used to lift a load. When the load is pulled up by a distance 1 m, how far does the effort end move?
4m
Number of strands supporting the load = number of pulleys = 4
M.A = LoadEffort = 4TT = 4
L = 4T and E = T
If dL = d and dE = nd
So, if dL = 1m then dE = 4 × 1 = 4m
