Answer:

the mechanical advantage David had when using the pulley is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

load moved by David, L = 350 N

effort applied by David, E = 175 N

The mechanical advantage David had when using the pulley is calculated as;


M.A = (Load)/(Effort) \\\\M.A = (350)/(175) \\\\M.A = 2

Therefore, the mechanical advantage David had when using the pulley is 2.
