Answers:
To calculate the force, two input boxes for Weight and Weight of the loose pulley are given in the App.
After inputting the values in these boxes App automatically calculates the force.
To calculate manually use the formula for 4 pulleys:
F=(W<sub>l</sub>+W<sub>p</sub>)/4
To calculate the force for 6 pulleys the formula is:
F=(W<sub>l</sub>+W<sub>p</sub>)/6
When you change the number of pulleys the divisor also changes accordingly.
