Cast Beam Structures Set ME-7009
9
Triple Pulley and Axle
Use a hanging mass and three pulleys. The three pulleys multiply the applied load on the drying Cast Beam more than a single pul-
ley or a double pulley can. The ‘block-and-tackle’ arrangement of three pulleys has an Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of
3-to-1. The applied load is measured by a 100 N Load Cell and the load limit is 100 N.
