    This document discusses how pulleys work and their uses. Pulleys are grooved wheels that change the direction of force and allow heavier loads to be moved with less effort. Fixed pulleys rotate as the cord moves over them, while movable pulleys can move with the load. Pulleys help lift, lower, and move objects using less force the more pulleys that are added. Examples of pulleys in everyday life are given, and readers are challenged to build their own pulley and lift an object to experiment with how pulleys function.

    A few quick notes on pulleys:

    § Pulley – a grooved wheel with a rope or cable around it.

    § Fixed pulley – a pulley that stays in place and turns as the cord moves
    over it.

    § Moveable pulley – a pulley that is able to move with the load being raised
    (when a pulley is attached to the load)
    How do pulleys help us?
    z
    Pulleys change the direction of a force.

    Pulleys help us to move things up, down or sideways by changing


    how we apply force.

    How do pulleys help us?

    Also, the more pulleys I use, the less force I need.
