SUCCESS.
A belt and pulley system is characterized by - correct answer-
two or more pulleys in common to a belt.
What does a belt and pulley system allow for? - correct answer-
mechanical power, torque, and speed to be transmitted across
axles
How is mechanical advantage realized? - correct answer- if the
pulleys are different diameters
what is a pulley? - correct answer- a wheel on an axle or shaft
that is designed to support movement and change of direction
of a cable or belt along its circumference
Why are pulleys used? - correct answer- lift loads
apply forces
trasmit power
, 2 | Page
What is usually the drive element of a pulley? - correct answer-
rope, cable, belt or chain that runs over the pulley inside the
groove
Pulleys are assembled to form what - correct answer- a block
and tackle in order to provide mechanical advantage to apply
large forces
rope and pulley systems (block and tackle) are characterized
by what? - correct answer- the use of a single continuous rope
to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or
move a load
the rope may be a light line or a strong cable
What is the mechanical advantage of a rope and pulley system
if it does not dissipate or store energy? - correct answer- the
number of parts of the rope that act on the load
What is a lever? - correct answer- a machine consisting of a
beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge or fulcrum
