A series circuit has only one path for current,
while a parallel circuit has more than one.
Answer:
A. Distance over which the force is applied
Explanation:
As we know that in pulley system the mass of the car is balanced by the tension in the string
so here we will have

so here in order to decrease the force needed to lift the car we have to increase Distance over which the force is applied
So here if we increase the distance over which force is applied then it will reduce the effort applied by us in this pulley system as the torque will be more if the distance is more.
Answer:
The average power is calculated as 735.0 W
Solution:
As per the question:
Total mass, M = 1200 kg
Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950
Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m
Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s
Now,
To calculate the average power:
First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:
Force, F = (M - m)g = 
Now, the work done by this force:
W = Fd = 
Average power is given as:

Gravitational potential energy can be given by the equation
PE = mgh
where m is the mass,
g is the gravitational constant 9.81 or 10 depending on rounding
and h is the height
well weight is a force equiavlent to
W= m*g
so comparing that to the potential energy equation, divide the potential energy by the height and you will get weight in Newtons
