To solve the question regarding a block and tackle system with 5 pulleys, we will analyze the relationship between load (L) and effort (E), as well as the distances moved by effort (dE) and load (d). ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understanding Mechanical Advantage (MA)** In a block and tackle system, the mechanical advantage (MA) is defined as the ratio of the load (L) to the effort (E). For a system with 'n' pulleys, the mechanical advantage can be expressed as: \[ MA = \frac{L}{E} ...
