The simple machine that provides a mechanical advantage of one?
Single fixed pulley
Is a crane a type of a pulley?
A crane is a movable pulley
What is a movable pulley?
a pulley that is attached to the resistance and moves with it
What if a pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1?
A pulley can either change the direction or the force, but not both. Since a single fixed pulley makes an object go up when pulled down, it has changed direction. So it can't also change force.
What what type of pulley has the highest mechanical advantage and why?
The flagpole, because it has the united states of American flag and has 50 stars are on it GO USA.
What is the mechanical advantage of a movable pully?
for one movable pulley you would get a mechanical advantage of 2
How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of a movable pulley?
use calculator
What is the mechanical average of a single movable pulley?
I think what you want is the "mechanical advantage". It's 2 .
What kind of pulley has an ideal mechanical advantage of 2?
The kind of pulley has an ideal machanical advantage of 2 is called "Movable Pulley". From, Bryan Hollick
Why is mechanical advantage of single fixed pulley less than single movable pulley?
because lifes hard
How is the mechanical advantage o a movable pulley determined?
I do believe it is equal to the number of ropes you have.
How is a fixed pulley different from a movable pulley?
A fixed pulley is different from a movable pulley because a movable pulley has one end of the rope attached to it fixed on an unmoving object. The pulley is free to move with the rope. You pull the other end of the rope. Also, a movable pulley multiplies the applied force (effort force) and therefore has more mechanical advantage. A fixed pulley is attached to something that doesn't move, while one end of the rope is holding the weight, while the other is for pulling.A fixed pulley confers no mechanical advantage, but will convert motion in one direction into another direction.A movable pulley system, if the pulleys change their distance from each other, will confer a mechanical advantage.
What is the advantage of a moveable pulley?
A single movable pulley gives you a 2:1 mechanical advantage. You can lift move 20 pounds with only 10 pounds of effort.
Anchor the rope at one end and arrange a movable pulley to achieve a mechanical advantage of 2 how much rope you pulled through the pulley?
2m
Which is the simple machine that provides the mechanical advantage of 1 the screw second class lever single fixed pulley or single movable pulley?
Single Pulley
Why does a fixed pulley have a mechanical advantage of one and a movable pulley has a mechanical advantage of two?
we find mechanical advantage of pulley by using principle of lever. according to this moment of effort is equal to moment of moment of load. As in this case effort arm is equal to load arm. so mechanical advantage is equal to one. but we know we can never finish friction between rope used and pulley so mechanical advantage is less than one
How does the different type of pulley system affect the mechanical advantage?
Depending on the type of pulley system you have (Fixed/ movable/ combined pulley) using either of these will give you mechanical advantage. The different pulley types are designed to even the weight of the object your pulled out, this will enable you to lift heavier objects with a lighter pull
