the amount of cringe is a couple of 100 punds

I enjoyed the video, plus I learned something about pulleys which I can now use.

You went to mit to learn this ? I feel like a genius now , thanks

How do you get that authentic 1993 look on this video? I mean exellent work, audio, video, clothes, voices, everything 1993 👏🏻 👏🏻

Fun video. I remember I was amazed when I first learned about pulleys in 5th grade.

Somehow I am no longer intimidated by those that go to MIT. I feel better about my life's lack of achievement

Very nice clear concise explanation

You put so much effort into the video, I love it. Thanks for explaining so well.

pretty cool, pretty neat

Thanks you very much

Very funny and informative video. Thank you MIT guys. :)

such a good quality of image for a 90s video

Cool fact: In the 1800s you used to use elevators, no not powered elevators with tempting to be pushed fire alarms, pulley elevators. What you would do is sit down in it, and there would be a pulley system with 5 blocks. You would have to barely pull these 2 strings behind you, and speed up to the 2nd floor.

Pretty cool!

good way to explain

so... the block and tackle its kinda like parallel circuits with a battery. Right?

The sad Ryan cartoon at 2:12. XD Thanks, guys!

this is adorable

If we place them horizontaly one after the other up and down or if we place them vertically one below the other do the two orders have any difference in the lifting power or the lifting power still remains the same ?

now i have a craving for donuts....geeeze...thks i guess!!😃😄😄

PS. 300# w/your system reduces weight down to ...?

After wondering for years exactly why these work; I sort of understood but this helped tons. Get it! Tons?! 🙂

learned much from this but pls explain how the budget allowed you to get a crane

I saw "Physics Hipster" and wanted to kms

We are learning about pulleys at school

nice one

Nice one bab

Hey! He's Ryan Normandin!

Super

Yes! Eureka! If you draw a parallel circuit vertically, it looks like a block and tackle! In the parallel circuit, the source voltage = the voltage through each branch, just like the force inputted into the rope = force @ each connection point! Thanks for seeing the analogy! And the pulleys divide the rope up into ‘branches’ so that the sum total of force in each branch of rope adds to the total load you’re lifting, just as current through each branch adds to the total current!

These are the technocrats.

Lifting weight = pulleys + donuts

I find it interesting that for me, it’s hard to accept the two being so analogous because current and voltage seem to be two different aspects of the same thing, whereas with the block and tackle, you’re dealing with two separate things spatially (person pulling and whatever’s being lifted). But that’s an afterthought I’m not too worried about. If you have any more thoughts, let me know! Thanks for watching my video!

I wonder if Pulleys can lift the Dorks away? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

god this was so fun even if you're all so corny about it! keep in mind my comment is in 2020. there were movies about the end of the world in 2020 when this was posted... we all watched them then and now we're all living them now. crazy world.

hi ryan

All this stuff with pulley ratios... They must have been so caught up in that that they didn't realise the cringe:quality ratio was about 1000:1

People are going to be really impressed when I bring pulleys to the gym

You can still do the gym lol

MITK12Videos - I really liked this video....I want to dub some of your videos in Marathi language (an Indian regional language) if you permit, for education purpose in schools and collages. Let me know from your end.

88.8% cringe factor but this helps me out with my problem i have i was trying to use a 2 to 1 system to lift my mower in my shop but it was to heavy still so i tried a 3 to 1 and i don't have enough hieghth but this tackle/block system will work perfectly for me. Thanks for the video.

pero que carajo acabo de ver???

Whats her full name?????

I'm from india. How can i get this equipmemt.please help me

*_im kinda cringing_* I feel like watching a kids video :/

4:30 getting a definite columbine vibe...

Nerd alert! Phisics tho is 😎

I'm so fucking confused with why they made this. I can't even fathom why they say when I grow up when they already look 25

purrrr

Glad you understand and had fun. Not the same as teaching it. Pretty lame and lost teaching opportunity.

Lol if this is MIT then i dont think MIT is anything special thats for sure

cringe but educative

If you care about kids, you should learn more about physiology. A steady diet of quick video cuts and camera motion changes the brain's "wiring" and a human's attention span. You can create something interesting without creating something harmful.

Lol so cringe

All you proved was that sheaves aren't cool. Knowing the difference between sheaves and pulleys isn't even cool.

REALLY LAME

Physics is cool, but you're not.

Informative vid but could have been so much better without all the childish stupid talk.

so much blah blah blah, not cool
