Best Answer

Pulleys helps changing the direction of the applied force. The most common example is drawing a bucket of water from a well.

Without the pulley it would be laborious to pull a bucket full of water out of the well. With the pulley our applied force's direction change and we can now happily pull the water out of the well.
