No, a Ferris wheel is not a pulley, although both are examples of simple machines. A pulley consists of a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change the direction of force, typically used for lifting. In contrast, a Ferris wheel is a large rotating structure designed for amusement, where passenger cabins are attached to the outer rim and rotate around a central axis. While both utilize circular motion, they serve different purposes and function in distinct ways.
