Force Question "whos smart"

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently making simulations in Solidworks and am confused.

I have to double the force on a pulley and change the dimensions from the original pulley, in order to withstand the new force.

My hypothesis:
If I multiply all the dimensions by the cubed root of 2, then my volume will double and the results of both simulations will remain the same, because I doubled the force and the volume of the second experiment.

Does that make sense?

I figured if the volume of the object doubles along with the amount of force, then the results should remain the same.

When i ran the simulation, it didn't go as planned.

Why?

Thank You so much!
