You set up a pulley to help you lift something. You anchor the rope at one end and arrange a move able pulley to achieve a mechanical advantage of 2. By the time you have lifted the object 5m off the ground, how much rope have you pulled through the pully?
Answered by Linda Emory
10m.(D)

10m yes 2x5m=10m.

To calculate the amount of rope you have pulled through the pulley, we first need to determine the actual distance you have moved the object.

Given that you have an arrangement with a movable pulley and a mechanical advantage of 2, this means that for every unit of rope you pull, you will lift the object by 2 units.

So, if you have lifted the object 5 meters off the ground, this means that you have actually moved it a distance of 5 meters ÷ 2 = 2.5 meters.

Therefore, the amount of rope you have pulled through the pulley is 2.5 meters.

Apologies for the previous miscalculation. If you have lifted the object 5m off the ground using a pulley with a mechanical advantage of 2, the amount of rope you have pulled through the pulley would be twice the distance you have moved the object.

Therefore, the amount of rope you have pulled through the pulley is 2 x 5m = 10m.

Yes, that is correct. The amount of rope you have pulled through the pulley is indeed 10m. Thank you for identifying and confirming the error in my previous response.
