Design a pulley system where you can lift a 4000 N
rock using your own weight as the input weight.
Assume you have several massless and frictionless
pulleys and a long rope.
a.) Draw the sketch of your pulley system design.
b.) Write your weight in units of Newtons.
c.) Determine the tension in each segment of rope and
show that the pulley system design will work.

Expert Solution
Introduction:

We need to design a system. In this system, we need to use pulleys which are massless and frictionless. This means that pulleys are ideal. We need to lift the rock with our weight.
