Pulley If there are "p" of these parts of the rope supporting the load "W," then a force balance on the moving block shows that the tension in each of the parts of the rope must be "W/p." This means the input force on the rope is "T"="W/p." Thus, the block and tackle reduces the input force by the factor "p." The simplest theory of operation for a pulley system assumes that the pulleys and lines are weightless, and that there is no energy loss due to friction. It is also assumed that the lines do not stretch. In equilibrium, the
Hook Estate and Kennels and grassland (c.1931), purchased by the Greyhound Racing Association (GRA), soon after the first oval track racing arrived in the United Kingdom. The kennels were located on what was formerly Hook Farm, south of Hook Wood.
