    The one I struggled with was the mechanical lift with a pulley. My assumption was that since the force was upward then I'd need at least more than the 75KG to lift. However it is really good to know the pulley to weight understanding. Thank you

    For question two, I believe the correct correct answer is A "both the same "
    Because the number of supporting ropes is only one in both cases, in anthoer word the mechanical advantage is one. If you pull the the rope from point A or B you need a force equals X

    I downloaded the "free guide" but only got 8 pages of tips and 4 questions on pulleys that contradicted what was taught in the video as far as the amount of support ropes. On page 8, in the last paragraph, it said "It’s now time for you to try out the sample tests that I have created for you. There are twenty questions in each test and you have twenty minutes to complete each one of them. Answers are provided at the end of each test." Where are they?

    There were some questions where I almost got caught up in math, but at the last second was able to deduce the right answer through common sense. The question about the gear teeth most of it was me struggling to understand how to even approach doing the math for that, until I looked at the answers and realized it had to be 3 because it was a smaller gear and so would turn more and 3 was the only number there bigger than two. Same with the weights balanced at 2 and 4 meters. I didn’t know how to do the math, so I chose the only answer that was lighter than 20kg, which was 10kg. Then I realized that the mechanical advantage correlation was half the weight to the distance. I got 10/10

  • @HuyNguyen-gl4wl
    @HuyNguyen-gl4wl 3 роки тому +1

    Question #10 is correct, but there's something missing in that explanation, the MASS of the beam. This is the torque question that follows the formula: Tcw = Tccw in which Tcw is the side where an object spins clockwise and Tccw is where the other object spins counterclockwise.
    Basically, Torque = r*F where r is the radius or length from the fulcrum of the beam to the object and F is the force exerts on a particular side. Based on the given information, we can calculate the Tcw that Tcw = 20*9.8*2 = 392N which means the other side must also equal 392 N to balance the beam.
    Now I noticed that the mass of the beam at this point has been neglected in this problem because what I did for the Tccw is I replaced 10kg into the equation Tccw = 10*9.8*2 = 392 N which is the correct answer. However, what I did at first was writing down the formula and tried to come up with a number to fill in the mass of the beam:
    Tcw = Tccw
    20*9.8*2 = Mass of the beam*9.8*1 + Mass of the finding weight*9.8*4
    392 = Mass of the beam*9.8*1 + Mass of the finding weight*9.8*4
    If the mass of the beam isn't neglected in this problem, this problem has to be done in this way.
    This is my opinion, I'd like to hear anyone comes up with another way to solve this problem or correct me if I'm wrong at some points.

      You probably didn't miss it because they provided an incorrect answer.
      With a fixed pulley as shown in question 2, the pulley should only change direction of required force, but provide no mechanical advantage. The correct answer should be A: Both the Same.

  • @Adam-hf7hn
    @Adam-hf7hn Рік тому +3

    I am pretty sure that question 2 is A, both the same. MA is all about how many supporting ropes there are on the weight. in the digram it is clear that the weight x has only one supporting rope being pulled up and that rope section b and a merely change direction of the applied effort. thus they must both be the same. In your mechanical compression free download question one is essentially showing this diagram without point a and the mechanical advantage answer is 1 too, so maybe its an error or I have just got it totally wrong? I would appreciate it if you could reply adding your view.?
