Scenario:
I have 6 different 5:1 mechanical advantage hauling systems set up. If I connect them in series, i.e. I take the first one and input 50 kg (110 lb), then connect another one to the first one and input 50 kg, and on and on, until I connect the last one and input a final 50 kg, what's your prediction for the final output pull? In summary, it's going to be a 5:1 on a 5:1 on a 5:1 on a 5:1 on a 5:1 on a 5:1, for a theoretical mechanical advantage of 15,165 : 1. Nerd stuff.
