Hexagon moves around circle segments in a clockwise direction with each turn.
Square, maintains same position in top right segment for one turn, and then is not present for the following two turns.

Squares are in no particular order. It is merely the number of squares that are important for this sequence.
Square increases by one with each turn.
Doughnut moves from bottom right corner to bottom left corner with each turn.

Shaded right angle triangle rotates by 90 degrees in a clockwise direction with each alternate turn.
Unshaded diamond goes from small to big with each turn.

Same shape increases in size for two frames with each turn.
Every alternate shape is shaded.

Large square overlays small square with each alternate turn.
Triangle moves from the left of the frame to the right of the frame with each turn.

Squares are in no particular order within the frame. It is merely the number of squares that are important for this sequence.
Shaded squares change from three to two with each turn.
Unshaded squares change from two to three with each turn.
Semi-circle moves from top left to top right, to bottom left to bottom right with each turn.

Centre hexagon is shaded for one turn, then unshaded for two turns.
Doughnut moves around centre hexagon in a clockwise direction with each turn.
Corner triangle moves in an anti-clockwise direction with each alternate turn.

Triangle alternates from the top segment, to the bottom segment, to both the top and bottom segments with each turn.
Unshaded half circle remains in the bottom segment, and moves from the bottom to the middle with each turn.
Unshaded square appears in same position with every alternate turn.

Dot moves from top left corner, to the middle line, to the bottom right corner, to middle line with each turn.
Diamond remains in top right corner and is omitted for the following two frames once it has appeared.
Triangle changes direction from down (always in left segment) to up (always on right segment) with each turn.

Horizontal line appears with every alternate frame with each turn.
Diagonal line appears with every second and third turn.
Square appears with every alternate frame with each turn.

There is only 1 load bearing section of rope which means that the force needed to lift the weight is the same as the weight itself.

There are two sections of rope that are supporting the weight, meaning that we can divide the force needed to lift the weight between them.

There are two sections of rope that are supporting the weight, meaning that we can divide the force needed to lift the weight between them.

There is only 1 load bearing section of rope which means that the force needed to lift the weight is the same as the weight itself.

To work out how much force you need to lift the weight you need to work out how many sections of the rope are bearing the lode of the weight and divide the weight between them.
8 / 2 = 4kg

This pulley system looks a bit more confusing than examples you may have seen before, however, the same principle applies. There are 4 supporting sections of rope so we divide the weight among them.

There are 6 sections of rope supporting the weight meaning we must divide the total weight by 6.

There are 2 pieces of supporting rope and when we divide the weight between them we get 80kg.

We can plug the information into the lever formula:
w x d1 = f x d2 ⟹ ? x 6 = 200 x 4
? x 6 = 800 ⟹ 800 / 6 = 133
We must round down as the question is asking us to find the maximum weight that can be lifted.
