Answer:

<h3>To calculate the mechanical advantage of a pulley you simply have to count the number of rope sections that support whatever object you are lifting (not counting the rope that is attached to the effort). For example, in a one pulley system the MA is 1. ... The more compound the pulley is the easier the load is to lift.</h3>

Nostrana [21]

Answer: The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increased by 2.0 kg, the period is found to be 3.0 s. Then the mass m is 0.625kg.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the simple harmonic motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

A particle is said to execute SHM, if it moves to and fro about the mean position under the action of restoring force.
We have the equation of time period of a SHM as,

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

Where, m is the mass of the body and k is the spring constant.

<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>

Given that,

$T_1=2s\\m_1=m\\m_2=m+2kg\\T_2=3s$

We have to find the value of m,

$T_1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\T_2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m+2}{k} } \\\frac{T_1}{T_2} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\frac{2}{3} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\\$

$m=\frac{5}{8} =0.625kg$

Thus, we can conclude that, the mass m will be 0.625kg.
