How do I calculate mechanical advantage in complex pulley systems?
- Thread starter Rolacycle

In summary, calculating mechanical advantage in complex pulley systems involves determining the ratio of output force to input force. This can be done by counting the number of ropes supporting the load and the number of segments of rope supporting the movable pulley. The mechanical advantage can then be calculated using the formula MA = 1 + (number of supporting ropes/number of segments of rope). This is an important calculation in understanding the efficiency and effectiveness of a pulley system in lifting heavy loads.

Thanks I found this forum trying to learn about calculating mechanical advantage in complex pulley systems. Somewhat informed now I had to join to ask about something I didn’t see explained or understand how to calculate. Hopefully I don’t sound dumbPeroK said:
