In a pulley setup that has a moving pulley,
a. you have to pull the string a greater distance, and it takes more work to lift the mass
b. your work doubles because the pulley moves
c. you have to pull the string a greater distance, but the force needed to lift the mass is cut in half
d. you don't have to pull very much to lift the mass

Explanation:

With a moving pulley you don't have to pull very much to lift the mass, because this pulley distributes better the weight, requiring a lower force to lift than using a simple pulley.

So, basically, in this type of system, the force needed is less, however, to know if is half less or even a minor proportion, we need to use specific values, that's why option C is not the answer, because with the data given, you cannot calculate if the force needed is the half.

the first american roller coaster was the mauch chunk switchback railway, built in the mountains of pennsylvania in the mid-1800s. the track, originally built to send coal to a railway, was reconfigured as a "scenic tour."
