In the figure shown is a pulley system with a box attached with mass \({{params.m}}\ \rm{kg}\). On the other side of the pulley is a person with mass \({{params.M}}\ \rm{kg}\) and height \({{params.h}}\ \rm{m}\). The person leans back at an angle \({{params.theta}}^\circ\) and uses only their weight as leverage on the rope. Up is negative, down is positive.
