3
1.A fixed pulley
2.movable pulley
3.block and tackle pulley
“__ ____ pulley” is attached to a fixed point, and its rope moves freely in the groove of the wheel.
A fixed pulley
____ ____ in order to lift the load, the effort applied on the rope must be equal to the weight of the load
A fixed pulley
What pulley facilitate work but not saves labor?
A fixed pulley
Equation of fixed pulley
Es = Wh
Es=mgs
E=mg
“__ ______ pulley” is free to move up and down.
movable pulley
What pulley the load is attached to the wheel and the wheel is supported by two parts of the same rope with one end attached to a fixed point.
A movable pulley
Which pulley to lift the load, the effort applied to he rope must be equal to one-half the weight of the load
A movable pulley
Which pulley makes the effort bigger, and it saves labor and facilitates work?
A movable pulley
Equation of movable pulley
Es = Wh
Es=mg(s/2)
E=mg/2
