An example of a fixed pulley would be a well. This is a fixed pulley because the pulley doesn't move even though it is attached to an object.

What is a fixed pulley?

A fixed pulley is a pulley that is attached to a support. It does not reduce the effort needed to lift the load, but rather changes the direction of the applied force.An example of a fixed pulley would be the rope pulley on a well. This is a fixed pulley because the pulley doesn't move (it is attached to the overhead structure).


What is an example of a block and tackle pulley?

A block and tackle pulley system consists of one fixed pulley and one moving pulley working together to lift heavy loads with less effort. For example, a flagpole typically uses a block and tackle pulley system to raise and lower the flag.


What are fixed and movable pulleys and give examples of each?

A fixed pulley is attached to a support and only changes the direction of the force applied. An example is a flagpole. A movable pulley is attached to the object being moved and reduces the amount of force needed. An example is a crane.


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.


How does a fixed pulley make work easier?

A fixed pulley does not make the force applied easier, it changes the direction of this force. For example, instead of bending over and lifting and object, a fixed pulley lets you lift it by pulling down on a rope.
