What is the mechanical advantage of tackle number 6 as shown in illustration D029DG below?
AI Explanation
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.
