A fixed pulley is a pulley that is attached to a structure and does not move;changes the direction of the effort force used to life a load by a person or a spring scale and if you use a spring scale then you will need a person to pull the spring scale done to see how far she/he pull it

A moveable pulley is a pulley that supports the load and is not fixed in place;reduces the amount of effort force needed to pull to lift the load when she/he pulls the spring scale then it will tell she/he pulls it.

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


Which compound machine consists of both fixed and moveable pulleys?

A compound machine that consists of both fixed and moveable pulleys is typically referred to as a block and tackle system. This system utilizes multiple pulleys to increase mechanical advantage and make it easier to lift heavy loads by distributing the force needed across several pulleys. The fixed pulleys remain stationary while the moveable pulleys adjust to accommodate the load.

What is 1 moveable pulley attached to a load?

A single moveable pulley attached to a load reduces the amount of force needed to lift the load by half. The pulley is free to move up and down, allowing for easier lifting and lowering of the load.


WHY IS MOVEABLE PULLEY MORE USEFUL THAN FIXED PULLEY?

A moveable pulley is more useful than a fixed pulley because it allows for a mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift heavy loads. With a moveable pulley, the effort force is reduced as the load force is distributed between the two sections of the rope supporting the load. This results in less force required to lift the load compared to using a fixed pulley.
