The grooves on the pulley wheel
effort is applied to the other end of the rope
In a movable pulley system, the effort comes from the person or machine pulling the rope.
There are two basic types of pulleys. When the grooved wheel is attached to a surface it forms a fixed pulley. The main benefit of a fixed pulley is that it changes the direction of the required force. Another type of pulley, called a movable pulley, consists of a rope attached to some surface. The wheel directly supports the load, and the effort comes from the same direction as the rope attachment.
A pulley doesn't raise or hoist sails. A pulley is just a wheel that eases a change in direction of a rope. It is a rope that hoists or raises sails. A rope for this purpose is called a Halyard.
A single fixed pulley only turns or re-directs the effort. The MA is 1:1 so the distance to pull the effort rope to raise a resistance 4 m is, likewise, 4 m.

pulley
This is called a 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).
