Hey all! I have a theoretical problem. Lets assume there is a 45 degree angle hill and you are trying to pull a 3 ton weight up that hill. How many pulleys would be needed for one person to be able to pull the weight up the hill? Lets assume the hill is half a mile long. I know the length of rope is going to need to be extremely long. But how would I solve this problem. Would love help with showing the work.
Oh, and this isn't for any homework. I am just curious and would like to understand the answer. Thanks so much!
