A fixed pulley requires more effort than the load to lift it from the ground. This type of pulley changes the direction of the force applied but does not provide any mechanical advantage in terms of reducing the effort needed to lift the load.
When using a pulley, the effort is applied to the rope or cable that is being pulled to lift the load, while the load is exerted on the object being lifted by the pulley system. The mechanical advantage of the pulley system helps reduce the amount of effort needed to lift the load.
The effort required to lift a 360N load on a pulley would be 360N since the load itself acts as the resistance that needs to be overcome. In an ideal scenario with no friction or losses, the effort required would be equal to the load being lifted.
A system with a single fixed pulley would require the least effort force to lift the load. In this system, the load is attached to the rope that passes over the pulley, with the other end of the rope attached to an anchor point. This arrangement changes the direction of the force required to lift the load, making it easier to lift.
A movable pulley reduces the effort needed to lift a load by changing the direction of the force required to lift the load. By pulling down on one end of the pulley system, the load is lifted up with less force needed due to the mechanical advantage gained from the pulley's design.
The distance the rope needs to be pulled to lift the load can be calculated using the formula: Distance = (Load weight * Pulley system efficiency) / Effort force applied Efficiency of the pulley system depends on the number of ropes supporting the load. The effort force applied is the force needed to lift the load.

The effort required to lift a load of 360N will depend on factors such as the angle and direction of the lift, as well as the presence of any mechanical advantage (such as using a lever or a pulley system). In general, the effort required would be equivalent to the weight of the load being lifted in a purely vertical direction.
The part of the rope from the pulley to the effort is called the "effort line" or "effort segment." This segment is where the force is applied in a pulley system to lift or move a load. In mechanical terms, it plays a crucial role in determining the mechanical advantage of the pulley system.
The number of pulleys needed to lift a load varies based on the size of the load. A very small load can be lifted with just one pulley while large loads may require many pulleys to adequately lift the load.
A pulley is a class 1 lever because the fulcrum (pivot point) is between the load (object being lifted) and the effort (force applied to lift the load).
Using a single fixed pulley will not change the amount of effort needed to lift a load. You will need to exert a force equal to the weight of the load, in this case 10 newtons, to lift it. The fixed pulley only changes the direction of the force needed, not the amount of force required.
A fixed pulley is the only pulley that when used individually, uses more effort than the load to lift the load from the ground. The fixed pulley when attached to an unmovable object e.g. a ceiling or wall, acts as a first class lever with the fulcrum being located at the axis but with a minor change, the bar becomes a rope. The advantage of the fixed pulley is that you do not have to pull or push the pulley up and down. The disadvantage is that you have to apply more effort than the load
