A system of pulley has a velocity ratio of f and mechanical advantage of 5 the system is used to raise a load of 3000N through 10m calculate the effort required

1 answer

The mechanical advantage (MA) of the system is given as:

MA = output force/input force

Since the load being raised is the output force and the effort required is the input force, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the effort required:

input force (effort) = output force (load) / MA

Substituting the given values:

MA = 5
load = 3000N
effort = ?

effort = load / MA
effort = 3000N / 5
effort = 600N

Therefore, the effort required to raise the load through 10m using a system of pulleys with a velocity ratio of f and mechanical advantage of 5 is 600N.
