Forces on a weight stack with the position of the pulleys so the weight is pulled up and the puller is moving a horizontally. Is it correct to use F=MG?

A weight stack is a collection of weights that are stacked on top of each other and connected to a pulley system. It is commonly used in weightlifting machines to provide resistance for exercises.
The main forces acting on a weight stack pulling horizontally are the weight of the stack itself and the force applied by the user. Other factors that may affect the forces include friction, air resistance, and the strength of the pulley system.
The weight of the stack determines the amount of resistance that the user will experience when pulling horizontally. The heavier the weight stack, the more force the user will need to exert in order to move it.
Friction can affect the forces on a weight stack by creating resistance against the movement of the weights. This can make it more difficult for the user to pull the weight stack horizontally.
The pulley system can affect the forces on a weight stack by either increasing or decreasing the amount of force needed to move the weights. A more complex pulley system can reduce the amount of force required by the user, while a simpler system may require more force.
