Mechanical Advantage of a Pulley Calculator

Result :

Feel free to try this online mechanical advantage of a pulley calculator to calculate the single pulley and multiple pulley systems mechanical advantage with ease.

Pulley: It is a mechanical device with the wheel over a shaft or chain which runs to change the direction of the taut cable for lifting a load. In simple, we can say that It is a machine for increasing the lift strength using a tracked wheel and a cord, rope or chain.

Mechanical advantage of pulley: To determine the mechanical advantage of a pulley system you have to count the number of rope sections that support whatever object you are lifting. But the rope that is attached to the effort should not be counted along with it.

After counting that, you can just enter the count in the input box of online pulley mechanical advantage calculator to know the energy saved by a pulley system with ease.

Example:

Calculate mechanical advantage in single pulley for the following data :Number of movable pulleys = 5

Solution:

Mechanical Advantage in Single Pulley = 2 x 5
= 10
