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
What are the three kinds of pulley?
1. The fixedpulley - requires more effort than the load. 2. The movable pulley - moves with the load which allows for less effort than load. 3. The combined pulley - effort is less than half the weight of the load
A load can be lifted easily by?
A load can be lifted easily by using a pulley system.
What is a fixed pulley?
A fixed pulley is a pulley that is attached to a support. It does not reduce the effort needed to lift the load, but rather changes the direction of the applied force.An example of a fixed pulley would be the rope pulley on a well. This is a fixed pulley because the pulley doesn't move (it is attached to the overhead structure).
How are a fixed pulley and a movablepulleydiffrent?
Using a movable pulley is known as using it to 'advantage'. The line going to the movable pulley contributes towards the force acting on the load. A line going to a fixed pulley, only serves to change the direction of the force.

How do you calculate mechanical advantage of pulley?
It is calculated by dividing the load by the effort.

What is the name of a pulley system in which the direcion of the effort force is going down but the effort force is equal to or greater than the load force?
simple pulley
How are fixed pulley's similar to first class levers?
Fixed pulleys are similar to, and are considered by many to be, first class levers. In a first class lever, the fulcrum of the lever is placed between the load (resistance) and force (effort). In a fixed pulley, this is essentially the same. Picture a piece of rope hanging from a ceiling from one end, and with you holding the other end. A weight on a pulley is placed in the middle. Now, if you pull up on the rope, the weight rises, just like with a first class lever. Since the load is between the fulcrum (the pulley) and the effort (you pulling up), the fixed pulley acts like a first class lever.

How does a movable pulley make work easier?
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
Where should the fulcrum effort be placed to easily lift the load resistance?
As close to the load as possible. Note that the closer to the load the fulcrum is placed, the shorter the lift that can be effectuated by the use of the lever.
Why is working with a pulley a lot easier?
because the gravitational energy of the load is absorbed by the pulley, so all effort is put into lifting the object as opposed to keeping it in the air

What are the 3 kinds of levers?
First-class levers have the fulcrum placed between the load and the effort, as in the seesaw, crowbar, and balance scale. If the two arms of the lever are of equal length, as with the balance scale, the effort must be equal to the load. If the effort arm is longer than the load arm, as in the crowbar, the effort travels farther than the load and is less than the load.Second-class levers have the load between the effort and the fulcrum. A wheelbarrow is a second-class lever. The wheel's axle is the fulcrum, the handles take the effort, and the load is placed between them. The effort always travels a greater distance and is less than the load.Third-class levers have the effort placed between the load and the fulcrum. The effort always travels a shorter distance and must be greater than the load. A hammer acts as a third-class lever when it is used to drive in a nail: the fulcrum is the wrist, the effort is applied through the hand, and the load is the resistance of the wood. Another example of a third-class lever is the human forearm: the fulcrum is the elbow, the effort is applied by the biceps muscle, and the load is in the hand.Refer to link below for more information.
