<u>Answer: </u>

C option is  correct

20 movable and 20 fixed pulleys required

<u>Explanation: </u>

To lift a 27,800 N elephant with a 700 N drive,  

27800/700=39.7  

the individual requires a mechanical favorable position of 39.7 which is equivalent to 40. A solitary movable pulley gives a mechanical favorable position of 2, two portable pulleys yield a mechanical preferred standpoint of 4, and a framework with three movable pulleys results in a mechanical favorable position of 6. In light of this example, 20 movable pulleys and 20 fixed are required to give a mechanical preferred standpoint of 40

Answer:

C. 20fixed, 20moveables

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine = MA/VR × 100%

MA is the mechanical advantage

VR is the velocity ratio of the pulley

MA = Load/Effort

MA = 27,800N/700N

MA = 39.71

The velocity ratio formula depends on the type of machine. Since the machine in question is a block and tackle system, the velocity ratio will be the number of pulleys in the system.

Using the efficiency formula to get the VR

100 = 39.71/VR × 100

39.71/VR = 1

VR = 39.71

VR = 40(approximately)

This means that the minimum number of pulleys that the person will require to lift the load is 40pulleys i.e 20fixed, 20moveables

Answer:

Doppler effect, the apparent difference between the frequency at which sound or light waves leave a source and that at which they reach an observer, caused by relative motion of the observer and the wave source. This phenomenon is used in astronomical measurements, in Mössbauer effect studies, and in radar and modern navigation.
