It acts as torque-multipier by trading distance for effort.(as you know from your basic physics, WorkDone = Force XDistance.
So if you replace a 1:1 arrangement witha 2:1 pulley, you needto pull twice as much rope but with only half the tension - though you will use the same energy overall!

What pulley system creates just directional advantage?
Single fixed pulley
Type of pulley that has additional numbers of ropes that help to increase mechanical advantage?
Fixed Pulley!!
Why does a fixed pulley have a mechanical advantage of one and a movable pulley has a mechanical advantage of two?
we find mechanical advantage of pulley by using principle of lever. according to this moment of effort is equal to moment of moment of load. As in this case effort arm is equal to load arm. so mechanical advantage is equal to one. but we know we can never finish friction between rope used and pulley so mechanical advantage is less than one
What is the mechanical advantage of a stationary pulley?
Its 1 you need more than 1 to improve mechanical advantage i think it's 2 A single pulley means one axel, making the IMA = 1. A double pulley's IMA would = 2, and so on and so forth.
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 is the mechanical advantage of a combined pulley?
A ratio that is the number of falls of rope in the system, apart from the rope between head-pulley and winch or you.
How does the different type of pulley system affect the mechanical advantage?
Depending on the type of pulley system you have (Fixed/ movable/ combined pulley) using either of these will give you mechanical advantage. The different pulley types are designed to even the weight of the object your pulled out, this will enable you to lift heavier objects with a lighter pull
The type of pully that does not have a mechanical advantage is?
The simple pulley is the type of pulley that does not have a mechanical advantage.
What is the mechanical advantage of the pulley system?
The mechanical advantage of the pulley system is the inertia and friction of the unbalanced and balanced forces acting on the mechanical advantage which is part of the pulley system....
What is the definition of a combined pulley?
fixed and movable pulleys can be combined.
What is the advantage of a single fixed pulley?
a directional advantage
What kind of pulley has an ideal mechanical advantage of 2?
The kind of pulley has an ideal machanical advantage of 2 is called "Movable Pulley". From, Bryan Hollick
What is the function of pulley?
Pulley reduces the force given to get the work done. There are amny types of pulleys. Examples are fixed pulley, movable pulley and Combined pulley.
What is the advantage of a pulley system?
hanika
What is the mechanical advantage of a fixed and free pulley?
A fixed pulley does NOT multiply the effort force or have a mechanical advantage. It only changes the direction of the effort force. A free pulley multiplies the effort by two. this means the free pulley has a mechanical advantage of 2.information from:www.mhscience02.com
What is the mechanical advantage of systems of pulleys?
The mechanical advantage of the pulley system is the inertia and friction of the unbalanced and balanced forces acting on the mechanical advantage which is part of the pulley system....
What pulley system creates just directional advantage?
Single fixed pulley
