A system of pulleys is used to lift a load of 1000 kgwt.If the efficiency of the pulley system is 80% andvelocity ratio is 20, find the effort required to lift theload. explain​

Answer»

Load ⇒ 1000kgwt

Efficiency ⇒ 80%

VELOCITY Ratio ⇒ 20

Effort ⇒ ?

⇒  \sf \ Efficiency  =   \frac{<klux>MECHANICAL</klux> \ Advantage }{Velocity \ Ratio  }

\sf 0.8  = \frac{Mechanical \ Advantage  }{20}

\sf Mechanical \ Advantage   =  0.8 \times 20

\sf Mechanical \ Advantage  = 16

So now the question comes up that what is Mechanical Advantage?

\sf Mechanical \ Advantage  = \frac{Load}{Effort}

\sf Effort = \frac{Load}{Mechanical \ Advantage }

\sf Effort = \frac{1000kgwt}{16}

\sf Effort = \frac{125}{2}

\sf Effort = 62.5kgwt

∴The effort required to LIFT the load would be 62.5kgwt.

What is velocity?

The rate of change of an object’s position with respect to a frame of reference and time is known as velocity.

What is the S.I unit of velocity?

S.I unit of velocity is m/s

What is mechanical advantage?

A calculation that measures the amplified force used up by a mechanical system is known as mechanical advantage.

What is the formula for mechanical advantage?

MA =   \dfrac{F_B}{F_A}
