The details of how you solve it will depend on the details of the physical situation. Usually you need to consider forces, masses, and Newton's Second Law; you may also need to consider the energy stored in a rotating wheel (for the pulley).

What are the functions of pulleys in physics?
Pulleys helps changing the direction of the applied force. The most common example is drawing a bucket of water from a well. Without the pulley it would be laborious to pull a bucket full of water out of the well. With the pulley our applied force's direction change and we can now happily pull the water out of the well.
Why do you find a pulley on a well?
To help raise a water bucket.
Why is it difficult to pull a bucket of water vertically with hands but it is easy with a pulley?
because force is multiplied in movable pulley and in fixed pulley force is transfered from point to point.
What are the uses of double pulley in physics?
The amount of force required to lift a weight is inversely proportional to the number of suspension lines. A multiple pulley system allows the load to be distributed across several lines and greatly reduces the amount of force required to lift the weight.. The load that takes mechanical power to lift with a single pulley can be lifted by a single person with a multiple pulley set-up
Why do you have pulleys on the wells?
Pulleys exist on wells to make it easier to remove the bucket. Once the bucket has gone down to the water, it is heavy and hard to lift straight up. So the pulley allows the person to pull down and/or at an angle to make the lifting easier. A block and tackle (a network of pulleys) could be used here to make the lifting even easier.

What is a single fixed pulley helpful for?
Have you ever seen an old fashion water well, the kind with a bucket? The bucket is raised and lowered by a rope on a single pulley.

Why do you find a pulley on a well?

What is the answer to the pulley question on genius physics?

Why is it difficult to pull a bucket of water vertically with hands but it is easy with a pulley?
because force is multiplied in movable pulley and in fixed pulley force is transfered from point to point.
How does a well that uses a bucket and a rope work?
it works by having the bucket tied to the rope on a pulley system that you lower done into the well and then the bucket fills up and after this you pull the rope and the bucket of water will come up full
A Sentence With The Word Pulley?
Pulley has different physics. Pulley is used to lift heavy objects.
Why does the bucket go up after you lower it?
A reasonable explanation as to why the bucket would go up after you lower it is because upon emptying the bucket it becomes lighter. Provided that there is an object heavier than the bucket on the other side of the pulley, the lighter object will always rise.
What type of simple machine would be used to lower an empty bucket into a well and then lift the bucket full water?
You could pull on a rope and use a pulley to do this, or you could wind the bucket up and down using a spindle with a leaver handle.
How do you make a simple and easy pulley?
To make a pulley, get a coat hanger. Cut the bottom of the hanger, and insert the open ends into an empty wooden spool. Adjust wire so spool turns easily, and then bend the ends so that the spool won't fall off. Hang rope on the spool. Attach one end of rope to a bucket or can. To use, hang the pulley and pull on the end with no bucket or can.
