The load arm is the radius of the pulley. This is the distance from the fulcrum to the load-carrying side of the rope.
no it can have anything that is like a rope, for example a steel cable or my big a s s pen15
A pulley halves the force required to lift a load, but doubles the length of rope or cable. So if you had a 10lb. weight attached to a rope, and were pulling the rope upward, you would need 10lbs. of force to lift it. However, if you had a pulley attached to a beam overhead, and were pulling down on the rope, you would only need 5lbs. of force to move the weight, but you would need to pull twice as much rope to get the weight to move the same distance.
Rope is not a simple machine on its own, it's a simple machine on a wheel and axle, then it's a pulley.

effort is applied to the other end of the rope
In a movable pulley system, the effort comes from the person or machine pulling the rope.
There are two basic types of pulleys. When the grooved wheel is attached to a surface it forms a fixed pulley. The main benefit of a fixed pulley is that it changes the direction of the required force. Another type of pulley, called a movable pulley, consists of a rope attached to some surface. The wheel directly supports the load, and the effort comes from the same direction as the rope attachment.
A pulley doesn't raise or hoist sails. A pulley is just a wheel that eases a change in direction of a rope. It is a rope that hoists or raises sails. A rope for this purpose is called a Halyard.
A single fixed pulley only turns or re-directs the effort. The MA is 1:1 so the distance to pull the effort rope to raise a resistance 4 m is, likewise, 4 m.
