A fixed pulley does not change the amount of force required to lift an object. However, it changes the direction of the force applied, making it easier to lift objects by allowing you to pull downward instead of upward.
No, a fixed pulley cannot change the direction of the load. It only changes the direction of the force needed to lift the load.
The disadvantage of a fixed pulley is that if it's not fixed in a location where you need it, it's used less.
A fixed pulley is used to change the direction of a force. It does not provide any mechanical advantage, so the input force is equal to the output force. Fixed pulleys are commonly used in systems where you need to change the direction of force without gaining any leverage.
A single pulley alters the direction of the input but confers no mechanical advantage.
Using a movable pulley is known as using it to 'advantage'. The line going to the movable pulley contributes towards the force acting on the load. A line going to a fixed pulley, only serves to change the direction of the force.

In a fixed pulley system, the force required to lift the load remains the same as the weight of the load. The pulley simply changes the direction of the force needed to lift the load, making it easier to lift by pulling downwards rather than lifting upwards.
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.
A fixed pulley changes the direction of the input force without changing the amount of force applied. It is attached to a fixed point and does not move, simply redirecting the force in a different direction.
The fixed pulley only changes the direction of the force applied.
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.
A pulley can either change the direction or the force, but not both. Since a single fixed pulley makes an object go up when pulled down, it has changed direction. So it can't also change force.
