How can you be safe while watching workers lift big and heavy iron bars with movable pulleys?
go under pulley
What is the importance of pulley?
pulleys allow you to lift significantly more weight than without them
How many pulley needed to lift a load?
The number of pulleys needed to lift a load varies based on the size of the load. A very small load can be lifted with just one pulley while large loads may require many pulleys to adequately lift the load.
How much effort force would it take to lift a 300 kg weight with a movable pulley system?
It would take 150 kg to lift the load.
How are pulleys used in everyday life?
pulleys are used in everyday life in many different situations and mechanisms. This is understandable because pulleys when used and set up correctly can lift or move a weight that is much greater than the force exerted upon the pulley. they are used in crane systems.
What are facts about the pulley?
Pulleys are used to lift objects
Which pully would require more effort force?
Not entirely sure what you mean but maybe this will help: In general the more pulleys you have in your system the less force you will need to apply to lift a certain load, in this case the system of pulleys is generally called a "block and tackle".
Kind of pulley that is not movable?
The major two types of simple pulleys are movable and fixed. An example of a fixed pulley would be a flag pole. The pulley is fixed in place while someone pulls on one end of the rope to lift the flag on the other end, the input force and the output forces being equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
What mechanical advantage of movable pulley?
It depends on how many times the rope 'goes around' the pulleys. If there are 2 ropes 'pulling up' then the mechanical advantage is double. Think about it this way: the tension throughout the rope is constant, so if the object being lifted is 100 pounds, but there are 2 ropes going up from the movable pulley, then each rope has 50 pounds tension on it, but they are the same rope, so you are pulling with 50 pounds force on the rope to create the 50 pounds tension. Note that the pulley system reduces the amount of force necessary to lift, but the amount of work necessary is the same. Example: if you want to lift the 100 pound weight by 1 foot, you will use 100 foot-pounds of work. With the pulley system as described, you are exerting 50 pounds of force, and must pull the rope 2 feet to lift the weight 1 foot.
Why are pulleys so important to every day life?
pulleys are important in everyday life because we needed to lift up heay weight objects that a human cant do in their everyday life so pulley is a very important simple machines to humanity.
Where else are pulleys used?
assuming that your question is what jobs are pulleys used for... then the answer is any job that you need to lift something that is heavy. The pulley give a mechanical advantage when used together with other pulleys to apply more force to move the object
What is the meaning of the word pulleys?
Pulleys are like a lever system. They involve using ropes or chords strung through something up higher, and by using body weight or the momentum of another object, you can lift an item that you couldn't have with just your grip and arm strength.
