What is a pulley?
उत्तर
A pulley is an example of a simple type of machine. It is either a wooden or a metallic disc which can rotate about a horizontal axis passing through its centre. It has a grooved rim along which a rope or chain can slide. It is generally mounted in a framework called a block.

Give reason for the following:
In case of a block and tackle system, the mechanical advantage increases with the increase in the number of pulleys.
There is no gain in mechanical advantage in the case of a single fixed pulley. Explain, why the pulley is then used?
Draw a diagram showing a block and tackle system of 4 pulleys.
(i) State, how many strands of tackle support the load?
(ii) Draw arrows to represent tension in each strand.
(iii) Find the mechanical advantage of the system, stating the assumptions made.
(iv) If the load is pulled up by a distance 1m, how much does the effort end move?
In a single movable pulley system, a load of 125 kgf is lifted by an effort of 75 kgf. Find the percentage efficiency of system.
If the weight of the movable pulley is W, obtain the expression for MA, VR, and efficiency.
A ‘block and tackle’ system used 3 pulleys in the lower block and 4 pulleys in the upper block. What is the ‘velocity ratio’ of this system? If the load is to be lifted by a person capable of applying a maximum effort of 1000 N, what is the maximum load than can be lifted under ideal conditions?
The actual maximum load that gets lifted turns out to be 6300 N. What are the values of the actual M.A. and efficiency of the set-up?
