	Block and tackle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A block and tackle (pronounced "block and take-el") is a system of two or more pulleys with a rope or cable threaded between them, usually used to lift or pull heavy loads.
		The increased force produced by a block and tackle is offset by the increased length of rope needed.
		In order to raise a block and tackle with a mechanical advantage of 6 a distance of 1 metre, it is necessary to pull 6 metres of rope through the blocks.

		A Block and Tackle system gives you a mechanical advantage by distributing the weight, or load, of the object along the length of the line.
		Block and tackle systems are not only a must for such jobs as loading cargo and supplies, lowering and recovering long boats, and hoisting the bosun's chair up the mast, but essential for raising, bracing, and lowering of the sails.
		When raising the chair, sail, or barrel, although the block and tackle system decreases the force needed to move the object up, it increases the amount of line that must be pulled through the blocks.

	Football Block Tackle Technique
		The football block tackle technique is an essential skill, because any team must be able to win the ball.
		The block tackle starts by planting the non-tackling foot firmly on the ground to provide a firm anchor.
		The inside of the foot is used for tackling, not the toe, and it's important to put the full weight of the body behind the football, and to get the head down over the ball.

	Issue of November 24, 2002
		The confusion amongst your co-workers about "block and tackle" is due to the fact that there are several meanings to each of the words "block" and "tackle" themselves.
		The "block" of "block and tackle," an apparatus of pulleys and ropes used to lift heavy objects, refers to the bulky housings, often made of wood in the past, of the pulleys themselves.
		"Block" in the sense of "obstruction" (as well as the verb "to block" meaning "to obstruct") is derived from the use of blocks of wood to immobilize an object, as in "blocking" the wheels of a wagon to keep it from rolling away.

		Block & Tackle is a football themed CD-ROM and it comes with 3 programs: Tom Landry Strategy Football (a game), Fantasy Football (a rotisserie football manager), and Pro Football Stat-Master (a real team stats database).
		The CD installs easily, just don't expect to install Block & Tackle and run the programs off the CD - everything is shoveled onto your hard drive, including the manuals which, in the case of the non-game programs, can get pretty complicated.
		The other two programs on Block & Tackle are similarly unimpressive and, due to their limited appeal, barely warrant mention.

	Block and Tackle Mechanical Advantage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A block and tackle multiplies the force applied to an object because the tension in a non-stretching rope is the same in every part of it.
		Now suppose we attach a single pulley to the ring in the block and pass the rope through it to fasten the far end to a beam overhead.
		We could increase the mechanical advantage by adding additional pulleys to the block and using other pulleys attached to the overhead beam just to reverse the direction of the rope for the next pass through the working end pulleys.
