Mechanical advantage of a machine is equal to the product of its and velocity ratio.

Important Questions on Machines
Draw a diagram to show a block and tackle pulley system having a velocity ratio of marking the direction of load (L), effort (E) and tension (T).
The pulley system drawn lifts a load of when an effort of is applied. Find its mechanical advantage. Is the above pulley system an ideal machine or not?

Draw a diagram of a block and tackle system of pulleys having a V.R. of . In your diagram, indicate clearly the points of application of load and effort.

What is the relation between mechanical advantage and velocity ratio for an ideal machine.



In a movable pulley, the load is . The mechanical advantage, effort applied and V.R respectively, if the efficiency is percentage are:


The mechanical advantage,
The effort to lift a body of ,
The resistance due to the movable parts of the machine and friction.



The mechanical advantage,
The effort to lift a body of .



What is the relation between mechanical advantage and velocity ratio for practical machine?




velocity ratio,
mechanical advantage,
percentage efficiency of machine which can overcome a resistance of through a distance of , when an effort of acts through a distance of .
