Question

The mechanical advantage of a single fixed Pulley is

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 0

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1

1. Mechanical advantage is the ratio of load force to effort force.
2. A single fixed pulley has ideal mechanical advantage of 1.
3. The effort force is equal to the load force for the single fixed pulley.
4. Hence, the mechanical advantage of a single fixed pulley is 1.

Hence, option A is correct.
