In a block and tackle with an ideal mechanical advantage of 6, what is the trade-off for the reduced effort needed to lift a load?

Correct answer to question 144 (Mechanical Comprehension): the effort rope must be pulled 6 times farther than the load rises

Method

Ropes and simple machines trade force for distance: to gain a mechanical advantage of 6, the effort end of the rope must move 6 times as far as the load.
