Mechanical advantage force applied at "A" the end of the rope, and let "F" be the force at "B" on the moving block. Like the velocities "F" is directed downwards and "F" is directed upwards. For an ideal block and tackle system there is no friction in the pulleys and no deflection or wear in the rope, which means the power input by the applied force "F""V" must equal the power out acting on the load "F""V", that is The ratio of the output force to the input force is the mechanical advantage of an ideal gun tackle system, This analysis generalizes
Tackle (gridiron football position) Tackle (gridiron football position) Tackle is a playing position in American and Canadian football. Historically, in the one-platoon system prevalent in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a tackle played on both offense and defense. In the modern system of specialized units, offensive tackle and defensive tackle are separate positions, and the stand-alone term "tackle" refers to the offensive tackle position only. The offensive tackle (OT, T) is a position on the offensive line, left and right. Like other offensive linemen, their job is to block: to physically keep defenders away from the offensive player who has the football
