Pulley Lab
Construct at least two of the pulley systems on the back of (or attached to) this page.
Adjust the resistance 2 times for each pulley and note the change in effort for each pulley system (if any).
Draw each of the pulley systems on the bottom of this paper.
Label the fixed pulley (F), the movable pulley (M), the resistance (R), and the effort (E).
Below, calculate and compare Actual Mechanical Advantage with Ideal Mechanical Advantage. How much is the difference between AMA and IMA?

Calculations
Ideal Mechanical Advantage = number of strings leaving the movable pulley
Actual Mechanical Advantage = resistance÷effort
