Sample questions
-
1.In a Class I lever, the effort arm is 1.5 m and the load arm is 0.5 m. If an effort of 50 N is applied, what load can be lifted?
- A.50 N
- B.100 N
- C.150 N
- D.200 N
-
2.In the case of a single movable pulley, as shown in the diagram
, what is the value of the Mechanical Advantage (M.A.)?- A.M.A. = 1
- B.M.A. = 2
- C.M.A. = 0.5
- D.M.A. = 4
-
3.Which of the following correctly describes a pulley and the mechanical advantage of a single fixed pulley?
- A.A pulley is a disc with a grooved rim; mechanical advantage is 2.
- B.A pulley is a disc with a grooved rim; mechanical advantage is 1.
- C.A pulley is a lever; mechanical advantage is 0.
- D.A pulley is a wheel without a groove; mechanical advantage is 1.
-
4.A pulley system consisting of four pulleys has efficiency as 90%. Calculate the Mechanical advantage of the system.
- A.36
- B.0.36
- C.360
- D.3.6
-
5.Why is the mechanical advantage of a class II type of lever always more than 1?
- A.The effort arm is always greater than the load arm, making M.A. > 1.
- B.The load arm is longer than the effort arm, increasing the mechanical advantage.
- C.The fulcrum is placed closer to the load, reducing the mechanical advantage.
- D.The effort and load arms are equal, resulting in M.A. = 1.
