To lift things up more easily. Duh.
You see, if you get more and more pulleys and keep putting them on the same rope, your load would become easier to lift as you added more. In fact, if you had a rope that was strong enough, one could easily lift a Black Rhino using 4,993,374 pulleys. This is just a theory, however. There is no one rope strong enough to lift that. And, nobody will ever try to do that. We have elevators for a reason, folks.
The elevator pretty much ruined the use of a pulley.
Another thing you could use the pulley for is to make a movie set that is set in a place in which you would need pulleys. For example: a place without elevators or pistons and a lot of heavy rhinos that need lifting.
One last use for the pulley is to hang it up in an elevator as a symbol of uselessness. It can be used to make a statement. The statement may vary depending on where the elevator is located, the weight limit of the elevator, etc. One good way to be very ironic is to take 4,993,374 pulleys (the amount it takes to lift a rhino), hang them all up in the elevator with rope and everything, and make sure that the weight limit of the elevator is under 2,500 lbs. If you live in an industrial area, you are out of luck. This works best in an elevator that is used by lots of people daily, but is in grave need of an upgrade.
In short, use your pulley to lift heavy things. Like rhinos.

What simple machine is used in venetian blinds?
The blinds use a pulley (fixed pulley).
Is a fixed pulley a simple pulley?
Yes, there is no difference
Is a clothesline a fixed or movable pulley?
A clothesline can be a simple line strung between to upright fixed points, or it can be woven through a pulley system to allow the user to stand at a fixed position to use it.
The simple machine that provides a mechanical advantage of one?
Single fixed pulley
What simple machine is the direction of effort opposite to the direction of resistance?
is a fixed pulley
What is a single fixed pulley?
A single fixed pulley is a simple machine that only changes the direction of the force applied, not the amount. An example is the pulley in window blinds.
Which is the simple machine that provides the mechanical advantage of 1 the screw second class lever single fixed pulley or single movable pulley?
Single Pulley
What type of pulley can you use to change the direction of the effort force?
Fixed Pulley and Compound Pulley.
What do we use a fixed pulley for?
this is berat writing.we use fixed pulley for lifting load up only by using force on the effort that makes the load lift
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 is the mechanical advantage of a simple pulley?
If the pulley is fixed to the ceiling and the rope passes over it, then the ideal MA is 1, but there's some friction loss in it. If one end of the rope is fixed to the ceiling and the load hangs from the pulley, then the ideal MA is 2.
What is an example of a fixed pulley?
An example of a fixed pulley would be a well. This is a fixed pulley because the pulley doesn't move even though it is attached to an object.
