A pulley system has a velocity ratio of 4 and an efficiency of 90%. Clculate:

i) the mechanical advantage of the system.

ii) the effort required to raise a load of 300 N by the system. 


Given:

V.R. = 4, η = 90%, Load = 300 N

straight i thin space right parenthesis
straight M. straight A. space equals space straight V. straight R. space cross times space straight eta percent sign

space space space space space space space space space equals fraction numerator 4 space cross times 90 over denominator 100 end fraction space
space space space space space space space space space equals space 3.6

ii right parenthesis thin space
straight M. straight A. space equals space fraction numerator L o a d space over denominator E f f o r t end fraction

Effort space equals fraction numerator Load straight space over denominator straight M. straight A end fraction equals straight space fraction numerator 300 over denominator 3.6 end fraction equals 83.33 straight space straight N
