A pulley system may cause the direction of the output force to differ from that of the input force, but is not guaranteed to do so. In a simple example, a double pulley could easily result in input and output forces in parallel.
Mechanical advantage is not the only reason one would use a pulley. For instance in a car, pulleys are used to drive alternators and power steering pumps. The use of the pulley and belt is to give power to these devices from the crankshaft. It's a method of transfering kinetic energy to these devices.
The Law of Applied Force states that a body's change in mass is proportional to the amount of force applied to it.
If there is no force against motion,applied force is zero. If there is force against motion,applied force is equal and opposite to that force.
Gravity is indeed a force, but only one out of many. magnetic, frictional, mechanical ... . When an ordinary force applied to an object, (me pushing my wheelbarrow) this would not be considered as being affected by gravity.
force applied to a pulley
Simple Answer:A movable pulley is a class 2 pulley and does not change the direction of the force applied to the object to be moved.Explanation:A simple pulley may be arranged so the force is applied in the direction of motion of the object that is moved or in the opposite direction.A simple pulley with one wheel may be a class 1 or class 2.For a class 1 pulley, the pulley stationary and the force applied to the rope is in the opposite direction as the movement of the object.For a class 2 pulley, the pulley is attached to the moving object and the force applied to the rope is in the same direction as the motion of the object.A compound pulley, consisting of an arrangement of more than one simple pulley, provides many other possibilities with the direction of force either the same direction or the opposite direction of the motion of the object being moved.
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.

A simple pulley is a rope (or chain or belt) with one wheel this may be a class 1 or class 2 pulley.For a class 1 pulley, the pulley is stationary and the force applied to the rope is in the opposite direction as the movement of the object.For a class 2 pulley, the pulley is attached to the moving object and the force applied to the rope is in the same direction as the motion of the object.A compound pulley, consisting of an arrangement of more than one simple pulley, provides many other possibilities with the direction of force either the same direction or the opposite direction of the motion of the object being moved.
I'd go with simple machines. Specifically, probably a pulley (or pulley system).

A pulley is a type of simple machine, consisting of a wheel with a rope running around it. It changes the direction of the force that is applied to the rope. It is also possible, with the use of multiple pulleys, to use them as a force magnifier.
The fixed pulley only changes the direction of the force applied.
The force applied to a simple machine is called effort/input force.
A fixed pulley allows the direction of the applied force to be varied. It does not change the load.
It is a rope fitted around the rim of a fixed wheel. Some pulleys increase the force that is applied to them .Other change the direction of the force.They are used to raise and lower things such as elevator cars.It is just that - a pulley.
