How do you calculate the mechanical advantage of a moveable pukkey?

To calculate the mechanical advantage of a movable pulley system, you divide the load force by the effort force. The formula is MA = Load Force / Effort Force. The mechanical advantage of a movable pulley is always 2 because the effort force is half the load force when using a system with a movable pulley.

What are the three different types of pulleys?

The three types of pulleys are fixed pulleys, movable (or movable) pulleys, and compound pulleys. Fixed pulleys change the direction of the force applied, movable pulleys provide a mechanical advantage by reducing the force needed, and compound pulleys combine fixed and movable pulleys for increased mechanical advantage.

How is the mechanical advantage of a movable pulley determined?

The method to calculate mechanical advantage is easy to remember and is necessary when rigging the assembly to accomplish the job. The mechanical advantage of a rigging that will require upward pull can be determined by counting the number of rope lengths running between engaged pulleys and those doing the work. Likewise, if the assembly will require downward pull, count the ropes and subtract one to get the mechanical advantage number. The subtraction is necessary because with the fixed pulley, the downward pull equals the load on the other length of rope so the last "pull" rope does not provide any mechanical advantage.
