A fixed pulley changes the direction of a force, making it easier to lift objects vertically by allowing you to pull down instead of up. It does not provide any mechanical advantage in terms of reducing the amount of force needed to lift 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.

What is an example of a fixed pulley?

An example of a fixed pulley is a flagpole. The pulley is attached to the top of the pole, and the rope passes through it to help raise and lower the flag. The pulley remains stationary as the flag is moved up and down by pulling on the rope.
