Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student sets up a pulley system with 4 supporting ropes. Ignoring friction, what is the theoretical mechanical advantage of this system?

  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 8
  4. 16
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B4
Award 1 mark for correct answer. The mechanical advantage of a pulley system equals the number of supporting ropes, which is 4. A is incorrect because it halves the number of ropes. C incorrectly doubles the number. D incorrectly squares the number.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A fisherman in Barbados uses a wheelbarrow to transport his catch from the beach. The wheelbarrow is an example of which class of lever?

  1. First-class lever
  2. Second-class lever
  3. Third-class lever
  4. Fourth-class lever
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BSecond-class lever
Award 1 mark for correct identification. In a wheelbarrow, the load is between the pivot (wheel) and the effort (handles), which defines a second-class lever. A is incorrect because the pivot is not between effort and load. C is incorrect because the effort is not between pivot and load. D is incorrect because there is no fourth class of lever.

CXC CSEC Physics: Simple Machines: Levers, Pulleys and Inclined Planes FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Physics questions on Simple Machines: Levers, Pulleys and Inclined Planes are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Simple Machines: Levers, Pulleys and Inclined Planes for CXC CSEC Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Simple Machines: Levers, Pulleys and Inclined Planes practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Simple Machines: Levers, Pulleys and Inclined Planes questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Simple Machines: Levers, Pulleys and Inclined Planes typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Simple Machines: Levers, Pulleys and Inclined Planes appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
