...isn't this true? If the string can take the tension?

probably

you should try it anyway though

almost. The weight has to be hanging off all of the lower ones. and the string only need to handle the 10lb force. and I didn't bother to count the number of connections.

It has to do with distance, if the pulleys are mobile, it might work, you cant tell in the drawing. But if the pulleys were set up in a way such that for every 1000 ft of rope you pulled, the weight moved 10ft, then yes, it would work, but you need pulleys that move around and arent fixed for that.

>this is normal and nothing weird-ronald.jpg

the only thing to mention is that the pulleys need to be able to hold the weight, you can't lift 10k lb mass with a 5lb pulley

This actually works. The force is just really low.
