The major two types of simple pulleys are movable and fixed.

An example of a fixed pulley would be a flag pole. The pulley is fixed in place while someone pulls on one end of the rope to lift the flag on the other end, the input force and the output forces being equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

What is the 2 kind of pulley?

The two kinds of pulleys are fixed pulleys and movable pulleys. Fixed pulleys are stationary and change the direction of the force applied, while movable pulleys have a free end that moves and both change the direction of the force and provide a mechanical advantage.

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.
