Correct Answer : Option (A) : 1-sinǾ/1+sinǾ
Explanation : Efficiency=Sin(2ἀ+Ǿ)-Sin Ǿ/Sin(2 ἀ+Ǿ+Sin Ǿ),For max efficiency, sin(2ἀ+ Ǿ)=1.
Correct Answer : Drums with helical grooves
Explanation : They have more bearing surface of the drum and prevent friction between adjacent turns of the rope.
Correct Answer : Increasingly centrifugal force in large sheaves
Explanation : Larger sheaves have higher centrifugal forces and higher cost because more material is used in their construction.
Correct Answer : Both bending and tensile stress
Explanation : There is direct tensile stress due to load being raised as well as bending stress.
