Add pulleys one by one. Notice how the "Effort" gauge drops while the "Distance Pulled" increases. Calculate Work: Multiply the force by the distance ( Below is a conceptual example of data students

Students calculate the ratio of the output force (the weight of the load) to the input force (the effort applied). They discover that adding more pulleys (and thus more support ropes) increases the MA, making the load easier to lift. They discover that adding more pulleys (and thus

Pulleys are simple machines that change the direction of force or motion, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects. In this lab, students explore the concept of pulleys, their types, and their mechanical advantage.
