What is the mechanical advantage of a pulley with 3 support ropes?

Engineering

5 0

Answer:

The mechanical advantage is 3 to 1

Explanation:

A frictionless pulley with three support ropes carries equal tension on each of the ropes thus;

Tension in each pulley rope = T

Total tension in the 3 ropes = 3 × T = 3·T

Direction of the tension forces on each rope = Unidirectional

Total force provided by the 3 ropes = 3·T

Therefore, a force, T, applied at the end of the rope will result in a lifting force of 3·T

Hence, the mechanical advantage = 3·T to T which is presented as follows;

Mechanical \ advantage = \dfrac{3 \cdot T}{T}  = \dfrac{3}{1}

The mechanical advantage = 3 to 1.

While discussing what affects the amount of pressure exerted by the brakes: Technician A says that the shorter the line, the mor
harina [27]

Answer:

Only Technician B is right.

Explanation:

The cylindrical braking system for a car works through the mode of pressure transmission, that is, the pressure applied to the brake pedals, is transmitted to the brake pad through the cylindrical piston.

Pressure applied on the pedal, P(pedal) = P(pad)

And the Pressure is the applied force/area for either pad or pedal. That is, P(pad) = Force(pad)/A(pad) & P(pedal) = F(pedal)/A(pedal)

If the area of piston increases, A(pad) increases and the P(pad) drops, Meaning, the pressure transmitted to the pad reduces. And for most cars, there's a pressure limit for the braking system to work.

If the A(pad) increases, P(pad) decreases and the braking force applied has to increase, to counter balance the dropping pressure and raise it.

This whole setup does not depend on the length of the braking lines; it only depends on the applied force and cross sectional Area (size) of the piston.

I ran across this symbol in some Electrical wiring documents and I am unaware of what this means. Any help?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Opened Push-button Switch (i.e. a PTM Switch)

Explanation:

Tha's just another symbol for a switch, but this one specifies that the switch is a push-button type of switch.

Since it's not touching and completing the line, the state of the switch is initially open.
