Question 2115 Deck General

The correct answer is A) 6.0. The mechanical advantage of a tackle system is determined by the number of rope parts supporting the load. In a 6-part tackle system, as shown in illustration D029DG, there are 6 rope parts supporting the load, which results in a mechanical advantage of 6.0. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) 5.5 is too low for a 6-part tackle system. C) 5.0 is also too low for a 6-part tackle system. D) 3.0 is the mechanical advantage of a 3-part tackle system, not a 6-part system.
