Question 1 Report

A pulley system has three pulleys in the fixed block and two in the movable block and if the pulley has an efficiency of 72%, the mechanical advantage of the system is?
Answer Details
To make it easier understood
MA = E × Vr/100
Vr in a pulley system is the number of pulleys and in this case we have 5 (3 and 2)
So
MA = 72 × 5 = 360/100 = 3.6
