In its technical meaning, a perpetual motion machine is not amachine that will run indefinitely, but a machine which can do workind^nitely witJiout the expenditure of energy. Show that such a machineis imt) SECTIOIf OF MACHINES. 91. Combination of pulleys.—As has been shown (p. 98),mechanical advantage is gained with the movable pulley. InFig. 83, M, the cord passing around the movable pulley maybe supposed to be divided into two parts each supporting half M N 3.
