Differential Pulleys

An investigation of mechanical advantage, relationships between displacement and velocity of input vs. output and efficiency

Experiment Time: 1.5 Hours

Pulleys Include:

Step Shaft Pulley
Combined Pulleys
Inclined Pulleys
 


These experiments are designed to investigate:

  1. The relevance of pulley diameter on the amount of line released per revolution of a pulley
  2. The mechanical advantage of using multiple sets of pulleys in conjunction with each other
  3. The varying mechanical advantage of an inclined pulley system

Time Requirements (for a recommended group size of 2 to 3 people):

  • Setup Time: 10 to 15 minutes
  • Experiment Time: approx. 60 minutes
