SUMMARY
Friction negatively affects the mechanical advantage of a pulley system. While the 'velocity ratio' represents the ideal scenario, real-world applications must account for factors such as the weight of the pulley and friction. This discussion confirms that friction reduces the efficiency of mechanical advantage, emphasizing the importance of considering these variables in practical applications.
