In this system, the monkey represents the effort or force applied, the pulley represents the fulcrum or pivot point, and the weight represents the resistance. The monkey pulls down on one side of the pulley, causing the weight to be lifted on the other side.
The principle is based on the concept of work and energy. The monkey's effort is transferred to the weight through the pulley, allowing the weight to be lifted with less effort than if the monkey were trying to lift it directly.
Yes, this system is commonly used to lift heavy objects in many industries such as construction, transportation, and manufacturing. By using multiple pulleys and increasing the number of ropes, the weight can be distributed and lifted more easily.
One limitation is that the weight being lifted must be less than the combined strength of the monkey and the pulley system. Additionally, the system may become less efficient when used to lift objects that are too heavy or have irregular shapes.
This system allows for the lifting of heavy objects with less effort and strain on the monkey. It also allows for precise control and movement of the weight. Furthermore, the system can be easily modified and adjusted to fit different needs and situations.
