Comment on Diagram of a pulley system, demonstrating how pulleys facilitate the lifting of heavy weights (2004)
OfCourseNot@fedia.io 2 days ago I don't think it can get as low as 100N, for that you would have to pull completely upwards. The shadow in the image implies a ceiling, so ~112N if we take 90° as the max angle. The 150N would be the only case with a completely downward force, if you pull at another angle the resulting force vector will be angled as well.

Yea that’s why I said max down force, didn’t want to do the math to find the resultant for a 90 degree to the left pull
