Pulley Efficiency Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Pulley Efficiency (Epull) is:

\[ \text{Epull} = \left( \frac{\text{WL}}{\text{AF}} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

Pulley Efficiency (Epull): A measure of how effectively a pulley system converts the input force into lifting force. It is calculated by dividing the weight lifted by the force applied and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. Higher efficiency indicates a more effective pulley system.

Let's say the weight lifted (WL) is 500 N and the force applied (AF) is 600 N. Using the formula:

\[ \text{Epull} = \left( \frac{500}{600} \right) \times 100 \approx 83.33 \, \% \]

So, the pulley efficiency (Epull) is approximately 83.33%.
