The force is tension.
Tension
The more pulleys and ropes you add the easier it is to lift
Tension
54 N
cords, lines
Cable wire, also known as wire ropes, are best suited to conveying force through tension for example, lifting, hauling or towing. This is due to the construction of the material.
The force is tension.
Split the system first. Divide the weight based on the distance from the center of mass for a uniform solid. For each part of the system the force downward will be the the partial weight.Next, (this is easy if the ropes are vertical) you find the force on each rope by using trigonometry. The force on the ropes will be the hypotenuses of the triangle formed by the downward force and its angle.Notice that, as the angles (θ and θ') of the ropes approach 0° (horizontal), the force on the rope approaches infinity.

A cable-laid rope is a very thick rope used for tasks such as towing, made by twisting together three ropes.
Tension
A radio tuner uses wheels and strings (at least, they used to; modern radio tuners have more sophisiticated methods). A pulley generally uses wheels and ropes, but a very light-weight pulley might use strings instead of rope.
Snap, you can snap things together, like a button, but you can snap things apart, such as ropes and strings.
Yes. Think this way. Say you have a 10 pound object supported by a single string system. The tension on the string is 10 pounds, and you must exert 10 pounds of force on the string, so that is (1:1). Now say you have a system where 2 strings support the weight. Each string has the same tension, which is 5 pounds, and you only have to exert 5 pounds force on the string (2:1 for 2 strings).
