The ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley system is two times the number of pulleys in the system. This is the amount of force required to get the system moving.
No, a block and tackle system can have a mechanical advantage greater than 4, depending on the number of pulleys used in the system. The mechanical advantage of a block and tackle is calculated by dividing the number of sections of rope supporting the load by the number of sections of rope that you pull on.

To analyze the mechanical advantage of a pulley system, you calculate it by dividing the output force (load) by the input force (applied force). The mechanical advantage of a pulley system is equal to the number of rope sections supporting the load. More rope sections mean a greater mechanical advantage.
