The major two types of simple pulleys are movable and fixed.
An example of a fixed pulley would be a flag pole. The pulley is fixed in place while someone pulls on one end of the rope to lift the flag on the other end, the input force and the output forces being equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Would you use a fixed pulley or movable pulley to lift a heavy load?
Fixed if it weighed as less than you, but a movable pulley wouldn't be helpful here. You'd be best with a pulley with multiple supporting ropes.
What kind of pulley is a fishing pole?

What is the 2 kind of pulley?
well i know 3, fixed pulley, movable pulley and a pulley system (double pulley with fixed and movable pulleys). i guess its basically just the first 2.
Which kind of pulley is attached to the object being moved?
A movable pulley. Kind of anticlimactic, isn't it?A pulley that is attached to something that isn't moving is called a fixed pulley.

functions of movable pulley
What kind of pulley has an ideal mechanical advantage of 2?

How can a fixed pulley and movable pulley be put together?
With the string from the movable pulley
Is a movable pulley is fixed at all points?
Yes an elevator is a movable pulley!
What is the difference between a fixed pulley and movable pulley?
The difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley is, the wheel of a fixed pulley does not move because the wheel is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object. Unlike a fixed pulley, a movable pulley's wheel does move. The wheel on a movable pulley is not attached to a wall or other object. A fixed pulley changes work by changing the direction of a force. A movable pulley changes work by reducing the input force needed to lift heavy objects. A movable pulley changes the direction of the input force and reduced it. A movable pulley also increases the output force.

What are the differences between a fixed pulley and a moving pulley and how do each of them change work?
The difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley is, the wheel of a fixed pulley does not move because the wheel is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object.
