Questions students ask
What is the velocity ratio of a pulley system?
The number of rope sections supporting the load: the distance the effort moves divided by the distance the load moves.
Why is the efficiency of a pulley less than 100%?
Work is wasted against friction and in lifting the lower pulley block.
