Its 1 you need more than 1 to improve mechanical advantage
i think it's 2
A single pulley means one axel, making the IMA = 1. A double pulley's IMA would = 2, and so on and so forth.
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
use calculator
Fixed Pulley!!
It only takes half the effort to move an object but twice the distance
Mechanical Advantage!
A pulley system has a mechanical advantage of 1 when the input force equals the output force, resulting in no mechanical advantage. This occurs when the pulley is stationary and only redirects the force, without increasing or decreasing it.
The mechanical advantage of the pulley system is the inertia and friction of the unbalanced and balanced forces acting on the mechanical advantage which is part of the pulley system....
A fixed pulley does NOT multiply the effort force or have a mechanical advantage. It only changes the direction of the effort force. A free pulley multiplies the effort by two. this means the free pulley has a mechanical advantage of 2.information from:www.mhscience02.com
The simple pulley is the type of pulley that does not have a mechanical advantage.
The kind of pulley has an ideal machanical advantage of 2 is called "Movable Pulley". From, Bryan Hollick
The formula used to calculate mechanical advantage in a pulley system is: Mechanical Advantage Number of supporting ropes or strands.
The mechanical advantage of a pulley system depends on the number of ropes supporting the moving block or load. More ropes mean a higher mechanical advantage.
The mechanical advantage of a pulley system is the ratio of the output force to the input force. It is calculated by dividing the load force by the effort force required to lift the load. The mechanical advantage of a pulley system can be greater than 1, making it easier to lift heavy objects.
The formula to calculate the mechanical advantage of a pulley system is MA 2 number of movable pulleys.
for one movable pulley you would get a mechanical advantage of 2
A fixed pulley is a type of pulley that is attached to a stationary object. It changes the direction of the force applied to move an object, but does not provide any mechanical advantage in terms of reducing the amount of force needed to lift the object.
The mechanical advantage of a pulley can be greater than 1.The efficiency cannot but that is a different matter.
