In a simple machine, what is the load?

• point where the lever arm pivots

• the force needed to move the load

• the mass lifted by a system

• the distance the load travels

How is a 2-pulley system more beneficial than a 1-pulley system?

• It provides greater directional advantage

• It provides less directional advantage

• It provides less mechanical advantage

• It provides greater mechanical advantage

What mechanical advantage can you get using a single fixed single moveable pulley effort going up?

• The effort would be 1/5 of the weight.

• The effort would be 1/2 of the weight.

• The effort would be 1/4 of the weight.

• The effort would be 1/3 of the weight.
