What determines how heavy a load a pulley can lift?
The number of ropes supporting the pulley and the strength of those ropes.
How does the number of supporting ropes on a pulley affect the amount of force needed to lift the load?
The more pulleys and ropes you add the easier it is to lift
Which type of force is exerted on the support ropes of a hammock when you lie in it?
Tension
What is a fixed pulley?
A fixed pulley is a pulley that is attached to a support. It does not reduce the effort needed to lift the load, but rather changes the direction of the applied force.An example of a fixed pulley would be the rope pulley on a well. This is a fixed pulley because the pulley doesn't move (it is attached to the overhead structure).
What are the three forces that act on a pulley system?
The forces that could occur in a pulley system are the force of gravity (due to the pulley's own weight), the tension force (of the rope), and the applied force (the force pulling on the ropes, i.e. a person pulling on it, or a load on the rope). goog dkjf ikjhrknj mjbnrgje gjknhdk irhfgt n s
How many lifting power does a pulley with 2 ropes had?
a lot
What determines how heavy a load a pulley can lift?
The number of ropes supporting the pulley and the strength of those ropes.
Type of pulley that has additional numbers of ropes that help to increase mechanical advantage?
Fixed Pulley!!
What is the formula for the ideal mechanical advantage of the pulley?
IMA of a pulley= the number of ropes supporting the load. An easier way is to count how many times the rope wraps around the wheel. :)
How do you calculate IMA of a pulley?
Take the weight of the object then divide by however many visible ropes.(if the force is pulling down)
What is the force directed along the ropes of a rope and pulley system?
Lead
How pulley systems work?
Ropes or cables run around pulleys and each pulley wheel reduces the pulling effort.
The ropes and chains that support and control the sails?
Halyards, ropes and stays
How does the number of supporting ropes on a pulley affect the amount of force needed to lift the load?
The more pulleys and ropes you add the easier it is to lift
Where is the primary school in Ropes Crossing?
Ropes Crossing public school is on the corner of Pulley drive and Hollows parade Ropes Crossing 2760. It is located 150m East from the new proposed Hotel.
How is the mechanical advantage o a movable pulley determined?
I do believe it is equal to the number of ropes you have.
The ropes and chains that support and control the sails of a boat?
Stays, lines, ropes and halyards.
