This document outlines an experiment to analyze the mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, and efficiency of a second system of pulleys. A second system of pulleys will be constructed using wheels, blocks, and ropes. The load and effort will be measured to calculate mechanical advantage and velocity ratio. The velocity ratio is defined as the distance moved by the effort divided by the distance moved by the load. Mechanical advantage is defined as the load divided by the effort. Efficiency is calculated as the mechanical advantage divided by the velocity ratio multiplied by 100%.

Objective:
To find the mechanical advantage, velocity ratio and efficiency of a second system of pulleys. Problem: To demonstrate the working of second system of pulleys and analyze mechanical advantage, velocity ratio and efficiency of the second system of pulleys.
Methodology: A second system of pulleys will be constructed with the help of wheels, upper & lower blocks and ropes. The analysis of the experimental values of load and effort will be performed to calculate the mechanical advantage and velocity ratio. Observations and Calculations: Let, Weight (Load) attached to the lower block = W. Effort applied = P Distance moved by load = x. Distance moved by effort = x*n Where, n is the number of pulleys. Thus,

W Mechanical Advantage (M.A) = P
And, M.A Percent Efficiency = % ղ = V . R ∗100 %
Conclusion: The second system of pulleys will be constructed and the mechanical advantage as well as the velocity ratio was observed experimentally and finally its efficiency will be calculated.
