According to the Free Body Diagram of pulley system:

MA = W/T = n.

Here, MA is the mechanical advantage, W is the load, T is the tension, and n is the number of sections of rope supporting the load.

Let's calculate the ratio: 1700/340 = 5

Which means the T = 1/5 W, it can be achieved by compound pulley system with 4 or 5 pulleys.

So MA = 5, this is your answer.

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves toward Earth?
Musya8 [376]
This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 5.7 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th
Bad White [126]

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s

Time taken before coin hits ground  = 5.7s

Unknown:

Final velocity of the coin  = ?

Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.

The fitting one of them here is shown below;

             V = U + gt

where;

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.

Now input the parameters and solve;

               V  = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7

               V = 55.917m/s

Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.
