1.Using a block and tackle pulley System, determine the number of strands that will be needed to lift a weight of 5025 lbs. by applying 200 pounds of force?
2.Using a block and
1. If you do not count the strand between the applied force and the first pulley, the mechanical advantage is the number of strands.
So 5025/200 = 25.125, which means you would need 26 strands.
2. Again, I do not count the strand

The Da Vinci of robots
25.11.11
On a visit to the American Museum of Natural History in New York three years ago, Dennis Hong was captivated not by the giant blue whale, or the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, but by the ankle bone of a timid prehistoric deer.
The ‘double pulley’ ankle gave the creature more bounce in its stride, an evolutionary advantage that enables today’s suburban deer to bound gracefully over vegetable garden fences. Hong took out his iPhone and snapped a picture of the diagram. He thought the concept might work nicely on his next robot. Another time, Hong watched a mother braid her daughter’s hair and wondered whether a robot could move in the same way. That led to the development of a three-legged walking machine that manoeuvres about with the same braiding motion.
A Chinese water-tube toy inspired Hong to create a species of robots that move by continuously turning themselves inside out. A cowboy’s lasso spurred him to build a robot that wraps around surfaces like rope.

(11 diggs) THE BIG LIE MACHINE: Fox & Friends Touts Rick Perry's "Cowboy Values"
Aug 22, 2011 from tcbishop12(Thomas Bishop) in Politics
Brian Kilmeade began by saying that "Rick Perry is gaining steam in his race for the White House; but some say his cowboy values may be a problem." (Ya Think!) He played video of Karl Rove saying that Perry "needs to fight the impression that he's a cowboy from Texas." The chyron provided the "official" Fox & Friends position (bent over, if you catch my drift) on Rick Perry: "A Cowboy in Office, Why Cowboy Values Trumps Washington's." Steve Doocy scrunched up his face while asking "what's wrong...

(210 diggs) Why This New Apple TV Makes Sense For Now
Sep 04, 2010 from 0ldb0y(@oldboychoi) in *
As a longtime Apple TV owner, Ill admit a dirty little secret: I really like the device. Sure, it has been one of the rare flops for Apple in recent years. And it could be so much more with say, a Blu-ray player or a web browser. But it is really good at its core functionality: bringing iTunes content into your living room. And thats why this new version of the Apple TV makes sense at least for now.
When I first bought the Apple TV, there were two varieties: a 40 gigabyte version and a 160...

George Nettels Elementary fourth grader Alexa Fletcher works with a LEGO Simple Machines set during class Wednesday morning. By WILLIAM KLUSENER A group of USD 250 students is using an iconic American toy set to learn about science.
Of course, the machine is different, being a simple touch screen barely shielded on three sides by little plastic walls. It does give me a small pang of nostalgia to realize I'll never get to cast my vote in a curtained machine that looks like a

Then Archimedes realised the simple pulley could be expanded into something with even greater power – the block and tackle system, which he designed to help sailors lift ever greater loads, according to Plutarch. Thousands of years later,
