Differential pulley the system becomes a simple "gun tackle" with a mechanical advantage of 2. The same principle is used in a differential windlass, where the connected pulleys are replaced by winches. In the above graphic, the four segments of the chain are labelled W, X, Y and Z. The magnitudes of their corresponding forces are "F", "F", "F" and "F", respectively. Assuming that the chain is massless, "F" = 0 because segment X is not supporting any weight. Taking the system at equilibrium, "F" and "F" are equal — if they were not, the lower pulley would freely turn until they
