Levers and pulleys are both simple machines that can be used to multiply force or change the direction of a force. While levers involve rotating around a fixed point, pulleys use a wheel and axle mechanism to redirect force applied to a rope or cable. Both can be used to make work easier by increasing mechanical advantage.

No, a pulley is not a third class lever. A pulley is a simple machine that consists of a wheel with a groove around its circumference, used for lifting or moving objects. Third class levers have the input force between the fulcrum and the output force.


How is a pulley a lever?

A pulley has an axle or pivot just like a lever has a fulcrum. Just as a lever tilts across a fulcrum and the fulcrum bears all the weight, a pulley rotates around its pivot/axle the same way. So in essence, a pulley is a lever wrapped into a wheel, with its fulcrum in the center.
