If a system pulley has a velocity ratio of 6 and mechanical advantage of 5 the system is used to raise a load of 3000N through 10m calculate work done by effort
To calculate the work done by the effort, we need to use the formula:
work = force x distance
We know the force raised (load) is 3000N and the distance it is raised is 10m. But we need to calculate the force applied by the effort.
The mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of the load to the effort:
MA = load / effort
5 = 3000 / effort
effort = 3000 / 5
effort = 600N
Now, we can calculate the work done by the effort:
work = force x distance
work = 600N x 10m
work = 6000 Joules
Therefore, the work done by the effort is 6000 Joules.
To calculate the work done by the effort, we can use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
In this case, the force is the effort force and the distance is the distance over which the force is applied.
Given that the mechanical advantage is 5, it means that the effort force is 5 times smaller than the load force. Therefore, the effort force is:
Effort force = Load force / Mechanical advantage
Effort force = 3000N / 5
Effort force = 600N
Now, we can calculate the work done by the effort force as follows:
Work = Effort force x Distance
Work = 600N x 10m
Work = 6000 Joules
Therefore, the work done by the effort force is 6000 Joules.
