Slide Number 6

Pulley

A pulley is a simple machine that is used to lift heavy objects.

We can either use a single pulley or a combination of pulleys.


For example pulleys can be used in

wells, escalators, rock climbing, flag poles and others.


First we will define a pulley.

Link for Apps on physics .

https://www.walter-fendt.de/html5/phen/


Use the given link to download the Apps.

https://www.walter-fendt.de/html5/phen/


Point to the file in the downloads folder. I have already downloaded Apps on Physics to my Downloads folder.
Point to html5phen folder in the Downloads folder. After downloading, html5phen folder appears in the Downloads folder.


Double-click on html5phen folder.


Point to the ph and phen folders.

Double-click on html5phen folder.


We see two folders namely ph and phen.

Double-click on phen folder.


Point to Apps in java script and htm format.

Now double-click on the phen folder.


In this folder, we see the Apps in java script and htm format.

Point to the htm formats Apps. We will use the Apps with htm file format.


Point to Pulley system App. To open the Pulley system app, press Ctrl+F keys simultaneously.

In the search bar type Pulley system.

Right click on pulleysystem_en.htm file.


Select the option Open With Firefox web Browser option.


Cursor on the App.

Right click on pulleysystem_en.htm file.


Select the option Open With Firefox web Browser.


Pulley System App opens in the browser.

Point to the App interface.

Move the cursor to the yellow panel.

Move the cursor to the green panel.

The App interface opens with two panels.

A yellow panel with a pulley system and

A green panel to change and display parameters.

Move the cursor on the load – pulley-rope. In the yellow panel, notice that a load is attached to the pulley with the help of a rope.
Point to the Springscale. We can either raise or lower the load using a Springscale.
Show the movement of the Springscale by the pressed mouse.


Point to the values in the right panel.

Click and drag the mouse to raise or lower the load.

Observe that there is no change in the value on the right panel.

This is because the necessary force required to drag the load remains the same.

Click on drop down list to show the numbers of pulleys On the top of the green panel you can see a drop down list of pulleys.

List has 2, 4, and 6 pulley systems.

Point to the Weight.


Edit and show 1 value

The weight of the load is displayed in the white box.


The default weight of the load is 14 Newton.


We can change the value of the weight from 1 Newton to 40 Newton.

Move the cursor to show the Weight of the loose pulleys. We can change the Weight of the loose pulley in this box.
Point to the black pulleys. This is the total weight of the 4 pulleys.
Point to show Necessary force. The Necessary force used to lift the load is calculated using the App.

Point to Springscale and

Force vectors.

At the bottom of the green panel we have Springscale and Force vectors radio buttons.


By default Springscale is selected.

cursor on the interface Let us demonstrate the working of the pulley.
Point to the load.

Point to the 4 sections of the rope.

Point to Necessary force.

Observe that weight of 20 Newton is hanging from the 4 pulley sections of the rope.

Each section of the rope has one fourth of the total weight.

In the App force required to raise the weight in air is calculated.

Slide Number 8

Necessary force

F= (Wl+ Wp)/4

Wl is Weight of the load.

Wp is Weight of the loose pulley.

The Necessary force is calculated using formula.

F= (Wl+ Wp)/4

Wl is weight of the load.

Wp is weight of the loose pulley.

Edit the Weight of the loose pulley to 20 Newton.

Point to Necessary force

Now change the Weight of the loose pulley to 20 Newton.

Observe that the Necessary force is changed to 10 Newton.

Change the Weight of the load to 30 Newton. Next change the weight of the load to 30 Newton.

Point to the Weight of the loose pulley.

Highlight the last line from the App.

observe that the weight of the loose pulley has changed to 10 Newton.

This is because the Springscale’s limit is 10 Newton.

Values more than 10 Newton are automatically changed.

Slide Number 9

Assignment

Change the weight of the load to 25 N and weight of the loose pulley to 10 N. Calculate the necessary force and verify your answer from the App.

As an assignment,

Change the weight of the load to 25 N and weight of the loose pulley to 10 N. Calculate the necessary force and verify your answer from the App.

To open Lever Principle App right-click on lever_en.htm file and Open With Firefox Web Browser. Next we will move on to Lever Principle App.

To open Lever Principle App right-click on lever_en.htm file and Open With Firefox Web Browser.

Point to the screen(highlight the sentence from the App.) This App shows a symmetrical lever with some mass pieces.

Each mass piece weighs 1 Newton.

Scroll down to show the lever principle. At the bottom of the interface Lever Principle is defined.

A lever is in balance if the total left side torque is equal to the total right side torque.

Scroll up to see the App.


Point to the lever arm.

Observe that the lever arm is shown by green and orange rectangles.

Length of each rectangle is 0.10 m.

Point to the torque measured. At the bottom left of the screen torque is calculated.
Slide Number 10

Torque

Torque is the twisting force that tends to cause a rotation.

The point where the object rotates is aixs of rotation.

Torque is the twisting force that tends to cause a rotation.

The point where the object rotates is the axis of rotation.

Point to the fulcrum. In the App fulcrum is the axis of rotation.
Slide Number 11

Torque

(tau) τ = F x r⟂

F is a force applied by the load.

r⟂ is a perpendicular distance from the fulcrum.

We can calculate the torque using the formula.

(tau)τ = F x r⟂(perpendicular).

Point to green and orange rectangles. Green and orange rectangles indicate perpendicular distances.
Remove one weight from the left side of the fulcrum. We can change the hanging weight by clicking and holding the mouse.
Point to fulcrum.


Move the cursor to show the calculations.

Observe that, the lever is unbalanced.


This is because torque on both the sides is not same.

Point to 0.9 Nm. Notice that the value of left side torque is reduced to 0.9 Nm

(Newton-meter).

Cursor on the interface. What happens when hanging weights are removed from both the sides.
Point to the left side of the fulcrum. Let us hang the weights at different distances to the left of the fulcrum.
Click and hold the mouse to add one weight on the third rectangle. Click and hold the mouse to add one weight on the third rectangle.
Add two weights on the fourth rectangle.

One weight on the fifth rectangle.

Add two weights on the fourth rectangle.

And one weight on the fifth rectangle.

Point to the lever. Observe that the lever is now unbalanced.
Point to the right side. Let us add weights to the right side of the fulcrum to balance the lever.
Use pressed mouse to add the weights from

right to 1st rectangle.

Click and hold the mouse to add one weight to the first rectangle.
Hang the weight to 3rd, 4th, and 5th rectangles. Continue to add weights to third, fourth and fifth rectangles.
Point to the lever. Notice that the lever is now balanced.
Slide Number 12

Assignment

On the same side of the fulcrum, if a block weighing 5 N is kept at 0.5 m and a block weighing 3 N is kept at 0.6 m, then how far a block weighing 7 N should be kept on the other side of the fulcrum to achieve a balance condition.

As an assignment solve this numerical.
Let us summarize
Slide Number 13
