A system of pulleys has a velocity ratio of 6 and mechanical advantage of 5 the system is used to raise a load of 3000N through 10m calculate the distance move by effort

Answer 1

We can start by using the formulas for velocity ratio and mechanical advantage:

Velocity ratio = distance moved by effort / distance moved by load
Mechanical advantage = load / effort

We know that the velocity ratio is 6 and the mechanical advantage is 5, so we can set up two equations:

6 = distance moved by effort / distance moved by load
5 = load / effort

We also know that the load is 3000N and the distance moved by load is 10m. We can use these values to eliminate one of the unknowns. Let's solve for distance moved by effort:

5 = 3000 / effort
effort = 600N

Now we can substitute this value for effort in the first equation:

6 = distance moved by effort / 10
distance moved by effort = 60m

Therefore, the distance moved by effort is 60m.
