This is the same very important principle that gears also use. Trade torque for speed. It is easier to lift the weight with more pulleys but you have to pull longer
Still to this day, after knowing how pulleys work in principle, pulleys are still magic to me
Best graphic explanation of all on Youtube!
I love your videos! A little more understanding of everyday mechanics with every video 😍
I wished things were described like this when I was in school. But then again, I got to go on a fun field trip to a science museum, which had lots of un and interesting interactive things for kids to do and learn about things.
Loved my lego Technics and mecano sets as a kid. Great toys for engineers to be imo. Learning is fun. And there is enough to learn to fill many lifetimes. No excuse to ever be bored.
Learned this irl doing tree service. We couldn't drop because of fence line and houses. Thought our boss was crazy. Held a 90ft pine solo with a two pulley system, as he'd cut 6ft from the bottom and we'd roll it away.
If this seems extreme try Arkansas State Troopers. They will pit you at well over 100mph.
Mechanical advatage is used in a lot of systems. When you push your brake pedal, youre pushing a thin piston a long distance. That fluid pushes through the brake line, and that force pushes a wide piston a snall distance. You push your foot several inches and it pushes the brake pad several millimeters, but with much greater force that scales with the difference in piston size and their travel distance.
Nicely explained! :)
You are the amazing!
That's great 👍
Amazing visual
Mechanical advantage
Where were you in 2011 when I was doing CIV100? 😢 thanks for this
Yeah Dr stone
This is so interesting to me. I’m so curious of the why aspect though.
