, 1. A belt and pulley system is characterized by ANS>> two or more pulleys in common to a belt
2. What does a belt and pulley system allow for? ANS>> mechanical power, torque, and speed
be
transmitted across axles
3. How is mechanical advantage realized? ANS>> if the pulleys are ditterent diameters
4. what is a pulley? ANS>> 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
5. Why are pulleys used? ANS>>
lift loads apply forces
trasmit power
6. What is usually the drive element of a pulley? ANS>> rope, cable, belt or chain that runs
over the pulley inside the groove
7. Pulleys are assembled to form what ANS>> a block and tackle in order to provide mechanical
advantage to apply large forces
8. rope and pulley systems (block and tackle) are characterized by what? ANS>> the
use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or move a load
