A Woman draws water from a well using a fixed pulley. The mass of bucket and water together is 6 kg. The force applied by the woman is 70 N. Calculate the mechanical advantage. (Take g = 10 m s-2)

The force applied by the women = 70 N
The mass of bucket and water together is = 6 kg
Total load = 6 × 10 = 60 N
Mechanical advantage (M.A.) = `"ЁЭР┐ЁЭСЬЁЭСОЁЭСС"/"ЁЭР╕ЁЭСУЁЭСУЁЭСЬЁЭСЯЁЭСб"= 60/70` = 0.857

A coolie uses a sloping wooden plank of length 2.0 m to push up a drum of mass 100 kg into the truck at a height 1.0 m.
(a) What is the mechanical advantage of the sloping plank?
(b) How much effort is needed to push the drum up into the truck?
What assumption have you made in arriving at the answer in part (b) above?
A gear system has one wheel with 10 teeth and the other wheel with 50 teeth. Calculate the gain in speed and the gain in torque that you can obtain using them. What will be the gear ration in each case?

In following figure, draw a tackle to lift the load by applying the force in the downward direction.
- Mark in the diagram the direction of load L and effort E.
- If the load is raised by 1 m, through what distance will the effort move?
- State how many strands of tackle are supporting the load?
- What is the mechanical advantage of the system?
A block and tackle system has 5 pulleys. If an effort 0f 1000 N is needed in the downward direction to raise a load of 4500 N, calculate:
- the mechanical advantage
- the velocity ratio, and
- the efficiency of the system.
In following figure, shows a system of four pulleys, The upper two pulleys are fixed and the lower two are movable.
- Draw a string around the pulleys. Also show the place and direction in which the effort if applied.
