Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that in the pulley system the rope moves the same distance in both ends of the pulley, what the pulley system does is creating a mechanical advantage which basically means that it takes less effort to pull than the actual effort it would take, so for example if you have to lift a box that is 800 N, with a pulley system and the mechanical advantage you'd have to pull with less force.
