Question

what is meant by saying that the velocity ratio of a simple machine is 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Velocity ratio of a lever is 3 means distance travelled by effort is 3 times the distance travelled by the load. Efficiency of the pulley is 60% means 40% of the energy is lost in the machine due to the friction.

Answer 2

The ratio of the distance moved by the point at which the effort is applied in a simple machine to the distance moved by the point at which the load is applied, in the same time. In the case of an ideal (frictionless and weightless) machine, velocity ratio = mechanical advantage. Velocity ratio is sometimes called distance ratio.
