Answer:

  50.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

720 degrees is 2 full turns, or twice the circumference of the pulley. The circumference is given by ...

  C = 2πr

  C = 2π(4 in) = 8π in

Then 2 times that is ...

  height lifted = 2(8π in) = 16π in ≈ 50.3 in

The object was lifted about 50.3 inches.
