When a second or third pulley is added to a pulley system, it will typically **decrease the mechanical force by increasing the distance**. This is because pulleys allow you to lift heavier objects with less force by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. However, it does not eliminate the need for force to lift the object, nor does it increase the weight or make lifting more difficult by adding resistance.
