Mechanical advantage of a pulley
Calculate mechanical advantage of pulleys quickly & easily with our free online calculator. Get accurate results in seconds!
When a small input force is applied to a machine, the magnitude of the output force increases, resulting in mechanical advantage. Pulleys are wheels on a shaft used to move a belt in a forward or backward direction, allowing an object to be lifted. This online calculator can be used to calculate the mechanical advantage of pulleys.
