1000 tons weighs in at 2 million pounds. A fit draft horse, the type used for pulling heavy loads weighs an average of 2,000 pounds and can pull twice it's weight, so 4,000 pounds. That means it would take 500 draft horses to pull that weight.

What is the rating of circuit breaker needed for a 500kva load?

To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated and whether the load is three phase or single phase. Without the voltage the amperage can not be calculated. For single phase, Amps = kva x 1000/voltage, for three phase, Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.


What is the relationship between the number of ropes lifting the load and the effort needed to lift the load?

The relationship between the number of ropes lifting the load and the effort needed to lift the load is inversely proportional. As the number of ropes lifting the load increases, the effort needed to lift the load decreases. This is because the load is distributed among more ropes, reducing the force required from each rope.

What is the relationship between the amount of effort needed to lift the load and the distance of load from the fulcrum?

The amount of effort needed to lift a load decreases as the distance of the load from the fulcrum increases. This is because a longer distance from the fulcrum provides a mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift the load.


What two things does the location of the fulcrum and load affect?

The location of the fulcrum and load affects the amount of effort needed to lift the load and the distance the load can be moved. Placing the fulcrum closer to the load reduces the effort needed but limits how far the load can be moved, while placing the fulcrum closer to the effort increases the distance the load can be moved but requires more effort.


How can you decrease the amount of force needed to lift a load with a lever?

You can decrease the force needed to lift a load with a lever by increasing the length of the lever arm. By moving the pivot point or fulcrum closer to the load, you can reduce the amount of force required to lift the load.


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.


What type of horses were used to pull covered wagons?

Very few horses were used . . . the wagons were almost universally pulled by a team of oxen, or a team of mules. Mules and horses needed grass or grain to stay healthy, but oxen could feed on pretty much anything. Mules and horses needed to eat constantly, but an ox could store food in any of four stomachs and could be fed at morning and evening and work all day. Mules were especially difficult to control, and both horses and mules would wander from camp, but oxen stayed put and were easy to control. Oxen were a third as much as mules and much less than that for horses. An entire team of oxen could be purchased for the cost of a horse. Oxen were good in mud and slippery conditions, but horses and mules were not. On the other hand, oxen were not good in heat, so they tended to be used in the summer in the morning and evening with a siesta during the heat of the day. Mules could do a third again the number of miles that oxen could, but were not very strong, and had poor stamina. Oxen could use a yoke and push their load, but horses and mules needed complicated harnesses to pull their load. Hooking up oxen in the morning took much less time than hooking up mules or horses. Once you got to your location, oxen could plow and do other things and were considered good meat, but horses and mules were less useful at the destination and were considered poor meat.
