This simulation illustrates the mechanical advantage possible
using multiple pulleys to lift an object. The number of pulleys
can be set by the user and the weight lifted also can be varied.
Pulley masses are adjustable. The force necessary to lift the
mass is computed by the simulation, and is illustrated either by
a vector in the simulation or a simulated spring scale. This
simulation is part of a large collection of physics applets
available in a wide range of languages. Please note that this
resource requires at least version 1.4.2 of %0 Electronic Source
