Which of the following statements is incorrect?
- The velocity ratio of a single fixed pulley is always 1.
- The velocity ratio of a single movable pulley is always 2.
- The velocity ratio of a combination of n movable pulleys with a fixed pulley is always 2n.
- The velocity ratio of a block and tackle system is always equal to the number of strands of the tackle supporting load.
If there are n movable pulleys with one fixed pulley, the mechanical advantage is given by :
- 2n
- 2n+1
- 2n-1
- 2n+2
The relationship between mechanical advantage (M.A.) and velocity ratio (V.R.) for a practical machine is:
- M.A.= V.R.
- M.A.> V.R.
- M.A.< V.R.
- None of these
A boy uses a single fixed pulley to lift a load of 50 kgf to some height. Another boy uses a single movable pulley to lift the same load to the same height. The ratio of the two effort is:
- 1:2
- 2:1
- 1:1
- none of these
