Answer
(a) L + w = 2T and E = T
So, L = 2T - w
Mechanical advantage
=
=
= 2 -
= 2 -
Hence, mechanical advantage = 2 -
(b) An inclined plane
(c) No, a single fixed pulley does not help in multiplying force. It only helps us to change the direction of effort to be applied in a more convenient direction.
