    help to estimate the pulling force in this pulley-cable arrangement

    Dear all,

    Can you help me estimate the pulling force or tension in the cable please ...
    Please see the attached image.

    Since it is a single cable from beginning to end, is there any mechanical advantage at all ??

    Thanks in advance
    Naveen

    hi All... after a brief reading ... I found out there is a 6:1 mechanical advantage.
    So I found my answer. Thanks any way !!

    That picture looks like it came from Delbert Hall's book on rigging...
    He provides the answers to the homework questions in the back of the book.
