| Determine the
mechanical advantage of this system using the "T" System.
Begin with T1 at the hand and
continue around the system until you have all blanks filled in with
a "T" value.
Remember, the T values of the rope
segments
that enter and exit a pulley must be the same (to remain balanced),
and the T value on the eye of the pulley is the sum of the T value
of the rope segments that enter and exit the pulley. The relationship between the hand and the load is
the mechanical advantage.
This puzzle adds more complexity,
because the becket pulleys pass force through the pulley.
