Summary

F_Z = Rope tension or effort force
F_L = Load or resistance force
s = Rope displacement (distance pulled) or effort distance
h = Height (distance load is raised) or resistance distance

An illustration showing how pulleys are used to obtain a mechanical advantage. Using additional pulleys decreases the force required but increases the distance required to raise a load the same amount. In each instance here the mechanical work done is the same, work being the product of force and distance.

F_Z × s = F_L × h
- 10 cm × 100 N = 10 J
- 20 cm × 50 N = 10 J
- 30 cm × 33 1/3 N = 10 J
- 40 cm × 25 N = 10 J
