Kaitlin Brady · Answer 1

For a single pulley system, you would just divide how much force the pulley system uses, in this case 2,750 newtons; by how much input force which is 250 newtons for this problem.

So, 2750/250 = 11.

Therefore, your mechanical advantage would be 11.

Rebecca Moyer · Answer 2

You just divide the 2,750 onto 250N and you'll get 11.
