    Or Belt That Moves Along Its Circumference.: Block and Tackle

    Uploaded by

    This document describes three types of pulleys: fixed pulleys change the direction of force on a rope but do not increase mechanical advantage, movable pulleys have an axle in a movable block and double mechanical advantage, and compound pulleys formed from a combination of fixed and movable pulleys create a block and tackle system that can further increase mechanical advantage through additional pulleys.

    Fixed: A fixed pulley has an axle mounted in bearings attached to a supporting structure.

    A fixed pulley changes the direction of the force on a rope


    or belt that moves along its circumference.

    Movable: A movable pulley has an axle in a movable block. A single movable pulley is supported by two parts of the same rope and has a
    mechanical advantage of two.

    Compound: A combination of fixed and a movable pulleys forms a block and tackle. A block and tackle can have several pulleys mounted on the
    fixed and moving axles, further increasing the mechanical advantage.
