Mechanical advantage of a fixed pulley
1. The fixedpulley - requires more effort than the load. 2. The movable pulley - moves with the load which allows for less effort than load. 3. The combined pulley - effort is less than half the weight of the load

A fixed pulley does NOT multiply the effort force or have a mechanical advantage. It only changes the direction of the effort force. A free pulley multiplies the effort by two. this means the free pulley has a mechanical advantage of 2.information from:www.mhscience02.com

is a fixed pulley
A fixed pulley is a pulley that is attached to a support. It does not reduce the effort needed to lift the load, but rather changes the direction of the applied force.An example of a fixed pulley would be the rope pulley on a well. This is a fixed pulley because the pulley doesn't move (it is attached to the overhead structure).
Thew pulley changes the direction of the effort force.
A fixed pulley is different from a movable pulley because a movable pulley has one end of the rope attached to it fixed on an unmoving object. The pulley is free to move with the rope. You pull the other end of the rope. Also, a movable pulley multiplies the applied force (effort force) and therefore has more mechanical advantage. A fixed pulley is attached to something that doesn't move, while one end of the rope is holding the weight, while the other is for pulling.A fixed pulley confers no mechanical advantage, but will convert motion in one direction into another direction.A movable pulley system, if the pulleys change their distance from each other, will confer a mechanical advantage.
