  3. Everyday Pulleys Pulley’s are used everyday, whether you know it or not, you are using pulley’s while working out, lifting heavy loads and in car engines. http://goworkout.pikeserver.com/photos/layout.jpg http://www.alliance-leicester.co.uk/loans/images/car-large.jpg

  4. Example of an everyday pulley:Work Out Machines. While working out some of the machines have pulley’s. So u pull on the bar it lifts up weights, stimulating your muscle, and your using a simple form of a pulley. http://www.pumphousefitness.com/satur017.JPG

  6. Machanical advantage of a pulley The formula for mechanical advantage of a pulley is: MA= Force of Object Force puling down. http://www.atech.org/faculty/dunne/about/SM/images/pulley.gif

  7. Mechanical Advantage Question For A Pulley If Someone is trying to lift up a rock that weighs 100 Newton's, and are exerting 10 Newton's of force what is the mechanical advantage? Would it be easier to use a pulley then just lifting it yourself? http://www.hospitalmanagement.net/images/companies/rehab/rehab_3.jpg

  8. http://www.arborsci.com/images/Pulleys.jpg Answer for the Mechanical Advantage problem The answer is: Mechanical advantage= 10 Newtons. It is easier to use a pulley then picking up a rock with your hands.
