Why flagpole are example of pulley?

Answer 1

Flagpoles are examples of pulleys because there is a mechanism at the top concealed inside it that reverses the way you must pull the flag to raise it.

Answer 2

Flagpoles are an example of a pulley system because the ropes used to raise and lower the flag act as a simple form of a pulley. The pulley helps to reduce the effort needed to hoist the flag up the pole by distributing the weight across multiple strands of rope. This mechanical advantage makes it easier to manipulate heavy objects, such as flags, by changing the direction of the force applied.
