c) 370
d) 380
Answer: c
Clarification: Let the contact force on the block by the surface be F which makes an angle ϴ with the vertical.
The component of F perpendicular to the contact surface is the normal force N and the component of F parallel to the surface is the friction f As the surface is horizontal, N is vertically upward. For vertical equilibrium,
N = mg = (0.400 kg) (10 m/s2) = 4.0 N.
The frictional force is f = 3.0 N.
tan ϴ = f/N = 3/4
or, ϴ = tan-1 (3/4) = 370.

The component of F perpendicular to the contact surface is the normal force N and the component of F parallel to the surface is the friction f As the surface is horizontal, N is vertically upward. For vertical equilibrium,
N = mg = (0.400 kg) (10 m/s2) = 4.0 N.
The frictional force is f = 3.0 N.
F = √N2
= √42 + 32 = 5 N.

Clarification: As the box slides on the horizontal surface, the surface exerts kinetic friction on the box. The magnitude of the kinetic friction is
f = μN
= μmg
= 0.25 x (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s 2) = 49 N.
This force acts in the direction opposite to the pull.

b) 30 N
c) 40 N
d) 60 N
Answer: d
Clarification: The forces acting on the boy are
(i) the weight Mg.
(ii) the normal contact force N and
(iii) the static friction fs

As the boy does not slide back, its acceleration a is equal to the acceleration of the horse. As friction is the only horizontal force, it must act along the acceleration and its magnitude is given by Newton’s second law
fs = Ma = (30 kg) (2.0 m/s2) = 60 N.

12. A boy (30 kg) sitting on his horse whips it. The horse speeds up at an average acceleration of 2.0 m/s 2.If the boy slides back during the acceleration, what can be said about the coefficient of static friction between the horse and the boy.
a) 0.10
b) 0.20
c) 0.30
d) 0.40
Answer: b
Clarification: If the boy slides back, the horse could not exert a
friction of 60 N on the boy. The maximum force of static
friction that the horse may exert on the boy is
fs = μs = μsMg

μs(30 kg) (10m/s2) = μs 300 N
where μs is the coefficient of static friction. Thus,
μs(300 N) <60 N
or, μs <60/300 = 0.20.

250+ TOP MCQs on Pulleys and Answers

Machine Kinematics Multiple Choice Questions on “Pulleys”.

1. In a wheel and differential axle, the diameter of the effort wheel is 400 mm. The radii of the load axles are 150mm and 100 mm respectively. The diameter of the rope is 10 mm. Find the load which can be lifted by an effort of 100 N, assuming an efficiency of the machine to be 75%.
a) 800 N
b) 725 N
c) 615 N
d) none of the mentioned

Answer: c
Clarification: Diameter of effort wheel, D = 400 mm
Diameter of longer axle, d1 = 2 x 150 = 300 mm
Diameter of the smaller axle, d2 = 2 x 100 = 200 mm
Diameter of the rope, dr = 10 mm

therefore, V.R. = 2(D + dr )/(d1 + dr ) – (d2 + dr )
= 2(400 + 10)/ (300 + 10) – (200 + 10)
= 820/100 = 8.2
Effort, P = 100 N
ȵ = 75%
Let W = load which can be lifted by the machine

ȵ = M.A./V.R.
0.75 = W/P x 8.2
W = 0.75 x 100 x 8.2 = 615 N.

2. Four movable pulleys are arranged as in the first system. If the weight of each pulley is 5 N, calculate the effort which can lift a load of 10 kN.
a) 629.7 N
b) 615 N
c) 625 N
d) none of the mentioned

Answer: a
Clarification: We know that M.A. = 2nW/W + w(2n – 1)
where W = load to be lifted
w = weight of each pulley
n = no. of movable pulleys

therefore, M.A. = 24 x 10000/10000 + 5(24 – 1) = 10000/P
P = 10000 + 5(24 – 1)/ 24 = 629.7 N.

3. A person weighing 600 N platform attached to the lower block of a system of 5 pulleys arranged in the second system. The platform and the lower block weigh 100N. The man himself supports by exerting a downward pull at the free end of the rope. Neglecting friction, the minimum pull of the man will be
a) 1000 N
b) 200 N
c) 116.7 N
d) none of the mentioned

Answer: c
Clarification: n = total number of pulleys in the system = 5
W = 600 N
Weight of the lower block and platform = 100 N
Total weight = 600 + 100 = 700 N
Let the pull exerted by the man be P newton.
Due to this pull the effective load on the lower platform will reduce to (700 – P)
nP = effective load = 700 – P
therefore, 5P = 700 -P
5P = 700
P = 116.7 N.

4. Five pulleys are arranged in the second system of pulleys. When not loaded the effort required to raise the movable block is 35N. Further wastage in friction increases the pull at the rate of 3% of the load lifted. What is the effort required to raise a load of 2kN?
a) 500 N
b) 400 N
c) 495 N
d) none of the mentioned

Answer: c
Clarification: n = no. of pulleys = 5
Frictional effort at zero loading = 35N
Frictional effort at 2 kN loading = 35 + 2000 x 3/100 = 95 N
When the system is considered frictionless nP = W
5P = 2000
P = 400 N
Hence total effort = 400 + 95 = 495 N.

5. Five pulleys are arranged in the second system of pulleys. When not loadwd the effort required to raise the movable block is 35N. Further wastage in friction increases the pull at the rate of 3% of the load lifted. What is the efficiency of the system at 2kN?
a) 80%
b) 80.81%
c) 80.50%
d) none of the mentioned

Answer: b
Clarification: n = no. of pulleys = 5
Frictional effort at zero loading = 35N
Frictional effort at 2 kN loading = 35 + 2000 x 3/100 = 95 N
When the system is considered frictionless nP = W
5P = 2000
P = 400 N
Hence total effort = 400 + 95 = 495 N
Efficiency at this load = effort without friction/effort with friction
= 400/495 x 100
= 80.81%.

6. In a weston differential pulley block, the number of recesses in the smaller wheel is 9/10 of that of the larger wheel. If the efficiency of the machine is 50%, find the load lifted by an effort of 300N.
a) 2000N
b) 3000N
c) 4000N
d) none of the mentioned

Answer: b
Clarification: Let the recesses in the larger wheel, n1 = 10
Recesses in the smaller wheel, n2 = 9/10 x 10 = 9

V.R. = 2n1 /n1 – n2 = 2×10/10 – 9 = 20
and mechanical advantage M.A. = W/P
= W/300
efficiency = M.A./V.R.
0.5 = W/300×20
W = 3000N.

7. If the velocity ratio for an open belt drive is 8 and the speed of driving pulley is 800 r.p.m, then considering an elastic creep of 2% the speed of the driven pulley is
a) 104.04 r.p.m
b) 102.04 r.p.m
c) 100.04 r.p.m
d) 98.04 r.p.m

Answer: d
Clarification: Velocity Ratio = Velocity of belt on driver/Velocity of belt on driven
Velocity of belt on driven = 800/8 = 100 r.p.m
Elastic creep = velocity of belt at driven pulley – Velocity of driven pulley
0.02 × Vp = [100-Vp]
Vp = 100/1.02 = 98.04r.p.m.

8. If the angle of wrap on smaller pulley of diameter 250 mm is 1200 and diameter of larger pulley is twice the diameter of smaller pulley, then the centre distance between the pulleys for an open belt drive is
a) 1000 mm
b) 750 mm
c) 500 mm
d) 250 mm

Answer: d
Clarification: sin α = (D -d)/2c
Angle of wrap on smaller pulley = п – 2α
2п/3 = п – 2sin-1(D -d)/2c
c = 250 mm.
