A pulley is a simple machine that consists of a wheel with a groove around its circumference and a rope or belt that runs along the groove. It is commonly used in homes to lift objects, such as curtains or plant baskets, by reducing the amount of force needed to move the object.

What is a pully And how does it work?

A pulley is a simple machine consisting of a grooved wheel and a rope or cable. It is used to change the direction of a force, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects. When you pull on one end of the rope, the object on the other end moves in the opposite direction.


How is a fixed pully different from a movable pully?

A fixed pulley is attached to a surface and only changes the direction of the force applied, while a movable pulley is attached to the object being moved and changes both the direction and the amount of force required to move the object.


By the time you have lifted the object 5m off the ground how much rope have you pulled through the pully?

If you have lifted the object 5m off the ground, you would have pulled 10m of rope through the pulley system. This is because as the object gets lifted, the rope length on both sides of the pulley decreases by the same amount.


How do you carry an object across a room without picking it up or carrying it?

You can't carry an object without carrying it. If you mean without touching it you will have to be creative. Use a lever and pully system, roll it with a ramp, use a forklift...


What machine allows you to lift things by pulling down on a rope?

A pulley system allows you to lift things by pulling down on a rope. By looping the rope through a pulley wheel, you can change the direction of the force needed to lift the object, making it easier to lift heavy loads. The more pulleys you add to the system, the more the mechanical advantage and the easier it becomes to lift the object.
