An elevator typically uses a combination of fixed and movable pulleys. The pulley at the top of the elevator shaft is fixed, while the pulleys attached to the elevator cab are movable. This setup allows for the efficient movement of the elevator cab up and down the shaft.
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.
When a fixed and movable pulley are used together, the fixed pulley is attached to a stationary object while the movable pulley is attached to the load being lifted. The combination of these pulleys allows for a mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift heavy objects by requiring less force.
The two kinds of pulleys are fixed pulleys and movable pulleys. Fixed pulleys are stationary and change the direction of the force applied, while movable pulleys have a free end that moves and both change the direction of the force and provide a mechanical advantage.
The three types of pulleys are fixed pulley, movable pulley, and compound pulley. Fixed pulleys are attached to a stationary object, movable pulleys move along with the load, and compound pulleys combine both fixed and movable pulleys to provide mechanical advantage.
A single movable pulley is typically considered superior to a single fixed pulley because it reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object. The movable pulley changes the direction of the force applied, making it easier to lift heavy objects.
Yes an elevator is a movable pulley!

Fixed if it weighed as less than you, but a movable pulley wouldn't be helpful here. You'd be best with a pulley with multiple supporting ropes.
