A pulley system is used to lift a 2,000 newton engine up a distance of 3 meters. How much force will the operator have to apply if the mechanical advantage of the pulley system is 4?
mechanical advantage = 500 newtons.

∙ 9y agoIt is true that a pulley system can lift a 2000 newton engine a distance. The operator would need to exhibit a force of 250 newton's to move the engine a total of 3 meters.

What is making it easier to lift the load?
The mechanical advantage of the block and pulley you are using, or the engine of the fork lift truck if that is what you are using.
When is it useful for some tasks to have a mechanical advantage less than 1?
The mechanical advantage is less than 1 when the output is less than the input. Mechanical advantage is expressed as the ratio of the output to the input. You can move an object far faster than your source of power is capable of working. Such as in the final gears in your car, where the wheels are turning faster than the engine is.
Can a heat engine converts disordered mechanical motion into organized mechanical motion?
Yes, for example a steam engine.
What is an example of the transfer from thermal energy to mechanical energy?
steam engine mechanism.(converts thermal energy to mechanical.)
Converting thermal energy to mechanical energy?
steam engine? Carnot cycle heat engine?
What is the mechanical advantage of a machine which multiplies distance?
The mechanical advantage of the machine is"if you give small accelration , it will increase the speed of the engine... It is possible by mechanical

What du you understand by the term governing of steam engine?
A governor is a speed control device. It can be mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electronic. It maintains a specific speed of rotation of the flywheel of the engine, or the shaft of a turbine, which is set by the operator. Governing an engine is just that, controlling the speed of the engine.
How does the size of a ideal mechanical advantage compares to the mechanical advantage?
This is because the actual mechanical advantage is the actual calculation found after dividing the effort force by the output force. Ideal mechanical advantage is what many people would call and estimate. When estimating mechanical advantage, the numbers are always rounded. This makes actual mechanical advantage less. Sources: Science teacher ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The answer above is incorrect. The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is usually less than the mechanical advantage (MA) in a given machine because of the friction acting on the machine. There will always be some frictional resistance that increases the effort necessary to do the work.
What is the function of a block and tackle?
A block and tackle consists of a system of pulleys with a rope and hook. It is a simple machine which lets you lift a heavy weight more easily. We say it gives you a mechanical advantage,or that it is a force multiplier because it lets you trade a large distance by which you pull the rope using a small effort for a small distance lifting the heavy weight. An example is an engine hoist.
Is an engine mechanical?
Yes it is.
Can a heat engine converts disordered mechanical motion into organized mechanical motion?
Yes, for example a steam engine.
Is chemical energy an example of mechanical energy?
A combustion engine converts chemical energy in gasoline to mechanical energy in the engine.
How does a stroker kit help an engine?
A stroker kit is used to increase the travel distance of a piston in an engine. The advantage of this is that the torque produced by the engine and the overall horsepower will increase. The disadvantage of this kit is that wear on the piston will increase and the engine will not perform as well at high rpms.
What is differential engine?
The Difference Engine was an automatic, mechanical calculator.
What is an antonym for engine?
mechanical motor
