Answer:

MA = 1.66, VR = 2, Efficiency = 83.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Load = 500N

Effort = 300N

Mechanical Advantage = Load/Effort

MA = 500/300

MA = 5/3 = 1.66

Velocity ratio is the number of pulleyc present in the block and tackle system. Since the pulley is a single movable pulley, then VR = 2

Efficiecncy n = MA/VR * 100%

n = 1.66/2 * 100

n = 166/2

n = 83.33%
