Pulley "rove to advantage." Diagram 3 shows that now three rope parts support the load "W" which means the tension in the rope is "W/3". Thus, the mechanical advantage is three. By adding a pulley to the fixed block of a gun tackle the direction of the pulling force is reversed though the mechanical advantage remains the same, Diagram 3a. This is an example of the Luff tackle. The mechanical advantage of a pulley system can be analyzed using free body diagrams which balance the tension force in the rope with the force of gravity on the load. In an ideal
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. The mansion 'Hook House' or 'The Hook' served as a base for some of the senior staff including the kennel manager and veterinary surgeon and the Hook Cottages and newly built Hook villas were divided among the trainers and their families attached to the GRA's racetracks. The kennels opened with 150 employees and there was a separate kennel block for each of the original
