This simple machine is made up of a wheel and a rope. The rope fits on the groove of the wheel.
One part of the rope is attached to the load. When you pull on one side of the pulley, the wheel turns and the
load will move. Pulleys let you move loads up, down, or sideways. Pulleys are good for moving objects too hard to reach places.
It also makes the work of moving heavy loads a lot easier.
Examples of where pulleys can be used: Flag Poles; Clothes Lines; Sailboat; Blinds; Crane.
Purpose of Pulleys: Pulleys are used to transfer force or speed to turn another pulley connected by a belt. There are different fixed(single) and connected(two or more) pulleys.
