How does the number of supporting strings affect the force needed to lift the weight?

In a Pulley System, the number of "Supporting Strings" is equal to the Force multiplier of the system. That is, if there are 4 supporting strings (plus the string you pull on), and the object being raised weighs 100 pounds, then the effort you supply is only 25 pounds. The Pulley System has a force multiplier of 4 times the input.

Can the number of pulleys affect the amount of force to lift a heavy objects to a high place?

Increasing the number of pulleys divides the force required to lift up a heavy object; increasing the number of pulleys decreases the force needed by the person (or motor) pulling the first end of the pulley system. However, it is important to know that it does not affect the total work needed to lift up the object. As the force is decreased, the distance of rope needed increases to compensate for a conserved amount of work required for the load to be lifted.
