Someone way up thread posted at link to a site
giving the good explanation.

Once again, Harry, you're caught in a lie. The site posted does *not*
support your position here, despite your false claim that it does.
Here's the relevant part of the post you refer to:

http://www.howstuffworks.com/pulley.htm

This web page speaks to the issue of how much pull is needed on the rope
to make the weight go up. But it does not adress the felt weight on the
pulley hook.

Note that last sentence, Harry: "does not adress [sic] the weight on the
hook".


And just where did I say that it did? I said that someone had posted
a link, you found it. I didn't read it.
