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.

How far must the effort rope of a single fixed pulley move to raise a resistance 4m?

In a fixed pulley system, the effort rope must move the same distance as the resistance (4m) in order to raise it by the same amount. This is because the fixed pulley changes the direction of the force applied, but does not provide any mechanical advantage in terms of distance.


How does the resistance force relate to the effort force for the fixed pulley alone?

In a fixed pulley, the resistance force is equal to the effort force when neglecting friction. This means that the input force required to lift a load is the same as the output force exerted by the load. The fixed pulley changes the direction of the force but does not provide any mechanical advantage.

What simple machine is the direction of effort opposite to the direction of resistance?

A pulley is a simple machine in which the direction of effort can be opposite to the direction of resistance. By using multiple pulleys and changing the direction of the rope, you can apply force in one direction to lift a load in the opposite direction.


What is the input to make a single fixed pulley work?

To make a single fixed pulley work, you need to apply an input force to one end of the rope. The pulley redirects the force in the opposite direction, allowing you to lift or move an object with less effort. The mechanical advantage of a single fixed pulley is 1, meaning the output force equals the input force.

In a fixed pulley, the effort force is equal to the load force being lifted. The fixed pulley changes the direction of the force applied, but does not provide any mechanical advantage in terms of reducing the amount of effort needed to lift the load.

What is a single fixed pulley?

A single fixed pulley is a type of pulley that is attached to a fixed structure, such as a ceiling or a beam. It changes the direction of the force applied to lift an object, making it easier to lift heavy loads by redirecting the force needed. However, it does not provide any mechanical advantage in terms of reducing the effort required to lift the object.


What type of pulley can you use to change the direction of the effort force?

Fixed Pulley and Compound Pulley.


What is a single moveable pulley?

A simple single pulley enables the applied force to change direction. A pulley at the top of a well is the common example. In many applications, such as the fan belt on a car, it is used to transfer energy from one shaft to another.
