24. A weston differential pulley block consists of a lower block and upper block.
The upper block has two cogged grooves, one of which has a radius of 150 mm
and the other a radius of 125 mm. If the efficiency of the machine is 50% calculate
the effort required to raise a load of 1.5 kN.
a) 250 N
b) 300 N
c) 350 N
d) 400 N
Explanation: We know that in case of a Weston differential pulley block,
V.R. = 2D/D – d = 2 x 300/300 -250 = 12
Using the relation, Efficiency = M.A./V.R. x 100
or, 50 = M.A./12 x 100
M.A. = 6
Again, M.A. = W/P
6 = 1.5 x 1000/ P
P = 250 N

Diameter of load drum, d = 200 mm
Length of lever, l = 1.2 m
No. of teeth on pinion, T1 = 10
No. of teeth on spur wheel, T2 = 100
On this machine efforts of 100 N and 160 N are required to lift the loads of 3000 N
and 9000 N respectively. Find the efficiency at 9000N.
a) 30 %
b) 40 %
c) 46.8 %
d) 56.8 %
Explanation: V.R. = 2l/d x T2/T1
= 2 x 120/20 x 100/10 = 120
M.A. = W/P = 9000/160 = 900/16
Efficiency = M.A./V.R. = 900/16 x 120 = 0.468 = 46.8%.
