Pulley systems ease lifting with ropes over wheels. Single pulleys change force direction; fixed pulleys change direction; movable pulleys reduce effort. Adding pulleys creates mechanical advantage.

This is a classic introductory physics problem. Basically, you have a cart on a frictionless track (call this m 1) with a string that runs over a pulley to another mass hanging below (call this m ...

The more pulley wheels you add to the mechanism, the less force is required to move the load. Pulleys are used to help lift many things. Lifts, window blinds and cranes often use pulley systems.

With a simple pulley the force you must exert is equal to the weight of the load. With a compound pulley—two or more pulleys combined together—you can reduce the force required to lift the load.

There is also a force from the axle where the pulley is connected. This is also the case for a "massless" pulley. Both of those tension forces were the same magnitude, but down.

FAYETTEVILLE -- Ryan Pulley showed up just as Cole Kelley's pass was reaching the hands of receiver La'Michael Pettway -- well, maybe a fraction of a second before the ball got there -- to break ...

Hogs' defensive back Pulley working on becoming a force. April 2, 2018 at 4:30 a.m. by Tom Murphy. Arkansas defensive back Ryan Pulley (11) warms up Wednesday, March 28, 2018, during practice at ...

Pulley is the epitome of corruption within the police force in the 1960s and '70s, and is the officer who leads the charge against the peaceful protests that the Mangrove nine were participating in.

The University of Northern Colorado soccer team (1-0-1) traveled to Denver on Sunday to face Air Force (0-1-1) where they ended in a scoreless draw. The Falcons’ offense was strong against the ...
