Sample questions
-
1.Calculate the velocity ratio (V.R.) of a single movable pulley. Why does it equal 2?
- A.The effort moves twice the distance of the load, so V.R. = 2.
- B.The load moves twice the distance of the effort, so V.R. = 0.5.
- C.The pulley halves the effort, so V.R. = 1.
- D.The velocity ratio is always 1 for any pulley system.
-
2.Which two factors are primarily responsible for the efficiency of a pulley system being less than 100 percent?
- A.Friction between the string and pulleys, and the weight of the movable block.
- B.Air resistance and the length of the string used.
- C.The color of the pulleys and the material of the string.
- D.The angle of the string and the speed of lifting.
-
3.Which of the following best defines an inclined plane?
- A.A wheel and axle system
- B.A plank kept at an inclination to the ground acting as a force multiplier
- C.A lever with the fulcrum at the center
- D.A pulley system with multiple wheels
-
4.What is the mechanical advantage of the given arrangement of four pulleys?
- A.2
- B.3
- C.4
- D.5
-
5.A worker pushes a box weighing 1500 N up a ramp 6.00 m long onto a platform 1.50 m above the ground. What is the effort applied by the worker?
- A.250 N
- B.375 N
- C.600 N
- D.1500 N
