Movable pulley is attache to the object you are moving while Fixed Pulley changes direction of the applied force.

∙ 13y agoA fixed pulley only changes the direction of the force being applied. The input force and output force are equal. The pulley is fixed in place.
A moveable pulley requires less input effort and the load is moved in the same direction as the force; however, twice as much input distance is required to move the load. The pulley moves and is not fixed in place.

∙ 12y agoA single fixed pulley merely changes the direction of the pull, without adding any mechanical advantage. (It will actually add effort due to friction)
A moveable pulley shares the load between the number of lines rove through it. You are therefore only pulling on a fraction of the weight. The speed of movement is divided between the number of lines also, which gives mechanical advantage.

The tension of a rope in a single movable pulley = W/2
The tension of a rope in a multiple pulley system = W/ number of pulleys if they are in series.

What is the difference between a fixed pulley and movable pulley?
The difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley is, the wheel of a fixed pulley does not move because the wheel is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object. Unlike a fixed pulley, a movable pulley's wheel does move. The wheel on a movable pulley is not attached to a wall or other object. A fixed pulley changes work by changing the direction of a force. A movable pulley changes work by reducing the input force needed to lift heavy objects. A movable pulley changes the direction of the input force and reduced it. A movable pulley also increases the output force.
