A rope and pulley lessen the force needed to pull an item, but it increases the distance that you have to pull it. It also changes the direction that it moves: you pull the rope down, the item goes up.

What does a pulley do with force?

A pulley directs the force in a rope into a new direction.


What is used with a pulley to redirect force?

Rope.


Does a simple pulley change the direction of force?

A simple pulley is a rope (or chain or belt) with one wheel this may be a class 1 or class 2 pulley.For a class 1 pulley, the pulley is stationary and the force applied to the rope is in the opposite direction as the movement of the object.For a class 2 pulley, the pulley is attached to the moving object and the force applied to the rope is in the same direction as the motion of the object.A compound pulley, consisting of an arrangement of more than one simple pulley, provides many other possibilities with the direction of force either the same direction or the opposite direction of the motion of the object being moved.


What kind of pulley changes the direction of the input force but does not change the amount of force you apply?

What kind of rope is used in a fixed pulley?

A single continuous rope that is known as block and tackle is used. A fixed pulley changes the direction of the force on a belt or rope.

If a person wants to raise the 100 N weight how much downward force must he exert on the rope?

If you have a single pulley, then you would need to exert 100N + an amount to overcome friction in your pulley.If you have 2 pulleys, rope connected to a beam at top, descends through pulley on item lifted, and back up through pulley at the top and then down to where you are pulling. Then the force is split in half and you would exert 50N + an amount to overcome friction.If you connect a rope to the item, up through a double pulley, down through a pulley on the item, and back up through the double pulley again and down to the person who is pulling. Then you divide the force into thirds, and the force is 33.3N + an amount to overcome friction.Essentially count the upward pulling ropes and divide by that number. A rope simply looping over a pulley that you're hanging onto the other end of only counts as once, and would be no different from you pulling up directly on the object, or on a pulley connected to the object.

Is a car a pulley?

a pulley is a wheel with a grooved rim in which a rope, chain, or belt can run in order to change the direction or point of application of a force applied to the rope, etc. There is a pulley in a car the pulley turns the belt that goes around it to turn another pulley that might turn the water pump, or alt., or a/c. Hope this answers your question! :)


What is a surface that re directs force using a rope?

I am not sure what you mean by "a surface that re-directs force" but you could use a pulley to redirect a force from a rope.
