If you pull someone up using something hooked to them

[User67770798]

Are you pulling their weight or is the object

Surely their weight is transferred to the object. So the weight you pull is the same....is this a science homework question?

You could only change the effort required to pull them up if you used something like a pull system.

In the absence of a pulley system with counter weights, yes, you are pulling them up yourself.

To deep for Sunday morning.

is the answer your using both the hook and the weight on some physics kind of way
