What is the 'Law of Machines'?

Machines which are used to lift a load are governed by the "Law of machines", which states that the effort to be applied on the machine (p) is related to the weight (w) which it can lift as - p = mw + c Where m and c are positive constants which are characteristics of the machine.


Why are hydraulic lift tables better then normal lift tables?

Hydraulic Lift Tables Can Lift a Lot More Weight Than Regular Lift Tables. Also Hydraulic Lift Tables Are Much Safer Since the Fluid Provides Extra Rigidity to the Lifting Structure Versus Purely Mechanical Means.


Do you need do be harnessed on a scissor lift?

Yes, it is generally required to be harnessed when using a scissor lift. Safety regulations mandate the use of personal fall protection systems to prevent accidents, especially when working at heights. While scissor lifts provide a stable platform, harnessing ensures additional safety in case of unexpected movements or malfunctions. Always check local regulations and manufacturer guidelines for specific requirements.


A pendulum of the length L is suspended from the ceiling of an elevetor. When the elevator is at rest the period of pendulum is T. What is the period of the pendulum if the elevator is freely falling?

A lift in free fall is the same as a lift with no gravity (e.g. in space), i.e. accelleration due to gravity, g = 0 ms^-2. Now your intuition should tell you what's going to happen but even if it doesn't you can plug this value into your equation for the pendulum's period to find out what happens.

When the lift rider feels wightlessness when the lift falls down or when the lift descends with uniform acceleration?

If a boy tossing in an elevator and the elevator disconnectsso will the coin moves downward fastly or remain same?

Anyone, boy or coin, inside the lift (elevator USA) would, should the lift malfunction and rapidly fall, fall at the same rate as the descending lift. Hopefully, the automatic braking system on lifts would bring the lift to a halt before it hits the ground!

What is the weight felt by a person in a lift when it has free fall?

During free fall in a lift, the person would feel weightless because they are falling at the same rate as the lift. This creates a sensation of weightlessness until the lift slows down or reaches the ground.
