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
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.
To calculate the effort required to raise the load using a system of pulleys, we can use the formula for mechanical advantage:
Mechanical Advantage (MA) = Load / Effort
Given that the mechanical advantage is 5, and the load is 3000N, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the effort:
Effort = Load / MA
Effort = 3000N / 5
Effort = 600N
Therefore, the effort required to raise the load is 600 Newtons.
