The tension of the string onwhich the power acts, that is at a,is P; hence the pull on the wheelB is 2P, and this force is felt up-ward at b; still again, the pull on Cis 4P, or 22P, and. Fig. 164. PULLEY. 231 the same upward at e; also, on D it is 8P, and thesame upward at d. That is, the weight is supported bythe four forces; viz., P + 2P + 2aP + 23P = W = 15P = (24 - 1)P, or, in general, W = (2* - i)P. The tension on the beam is equal to TT + P, or 24P. 224. The following are other forms of pulleys, forwhich the relations of P to PFcan be established in thesame manner as for those already explained. In Fig. 165, W = 4P. In Fig. 166, W = 5P cos a(the tendency of the horizontal component of P is also tobe noted). In Fig. 167, W = 81P = 3*P.
