Sample Question:
A pulley system has three pulleys arranged vertically. A rope runs over the pulleys, and one end of the rope is attached to a weight of 150 pounds. If each pulley reduces the force required to lift the weight by one-third, what is the force needed to lift the weight using the pulley system?
A) 50 pounds
B) 100 pounds
C) 150 pounds
D) 200 pounds
Answer:
Since each pulley reduces the force required by one-third, and there are three pulleys, the force required would be reduced by one-third three times:
150 / 3 = 50 50 / 3 = 50/3 50/3 / 3 = 50/9
The force required is one-ninth of the original 150 pounds, which is:
150 / 9 = 50/3 * 2 = 100/3 ≈ 33.33 pounds
However, this option is not provided in the answer choices. The closest option is:
A) 50 pounds
