A single pulley is one of the "simple machines" in physics, and makes work seem easier by redirecting the action required to work along with gravity. For example, you can lift something by by pulling down on a rope.<br><br>Multiple pulleys make work even easier, but you need to do more of it: running a rope through six pulleys will make the load seem 1/6 as heavy, but you'll have to pull the rope six times as far.<br><br>A handy guide to the simple machines is here: http://teacher.scholastic.com/dirtrep/Simple/pulley.htm<br>

What is the formula for the percent efficiency of a pulley?
The formula for the percent efficiency of a pulley is (output work/input work) x 100%. It compares the output work (work done by the pulley) to the input work (work done on the pulley) to determine how efficient the pulley system is in transferring energy.
A person does 50j of work to lift a crate using a pulley. the pulley's work output is 42j. What is the pully's mechanical efficiency?
The mechanical efficiency of the pulley is calculated as: (Work output / Work input) * 100%. In this case, it would be (42J / 50J) * 100% = 84%. The pulley is 84% efficient at converting input work into output work.
How is a pulley and a lever alike?
A pulley and a lever are both simple machines that help to make work easier by changing the direction or magnitude of a force. They both utilize the principle of mechanical advantage to multiply force or distance.
Is a wheel and pulley a simple machine?
Yes, both a wheel and a pulley are considered simple machines. They help to make work easier by changing the direction or magnitude of a force applied. The wheel reduces friction by rolling, while the pulley helps to lift heavy objects by providing a mechanical advantage.
What are the differences between a fixed pulley and a moving pulley and how do each of them change work?
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.

Which simple machine can help us to move a sail on a sailboat?
pulley
What is the function of pulley?
Pulley reduces the force given to get the work done. There are amny types of pulleys. Examples are fixed pulley, movable pulley and Combined pulley.

Type of pulley that has additional numbers of ropes that help to increase mechanical advantage?
Fixed Pulley!!
How does the work you get out of a pulley compare with the work you put into it?
The WORK is the same. Work = force times distance. If the pulley allows you to pull half as hard, you will have to pull over twice the distance (length of rope), making the same total work. (Ignoring friction; you would actually have to do slightly more work to overcome the friction in the pulley.)
Is a wheel and pulley a simple machine?
Yes, both a wheel and a pulley are considered simple machines. They help to make work easier by changing the direction or magnitude of a force applied. The wheel reduces friction by rolling, while the pulley helps to lift heavy objects by providing a mechanical advantage.
How pulley help?
can change a direction of a force
Can your car work with a malfunctioning idler pulley?
The Answer is no.
Do pulleys make you work less?
No. If you are, say, lifting a weight the amount of work done is the same whether you use a pulley or not. However, you may not be able to actually lift the weight unless you use a pulley. But the amount of work done will be the same with or without the pulley.
How does a pulley help a simple machine?
It decreases the force.
