Fixed to a supporting structure. Not directly attached to the load.

Fixed.

10

Attached directly to the load being lifted.

Moveable

15

Two or more sets of pulleys connected by the same rope. Upper set doesn't move, lower set does.

Combination

15

Doesn't move when rope is pulled; rotates in place.

Fixed

15

Pulley and load move when rope is pulled.

Moveable.

10

Effort is always applied by pulling down, to work with force of gravity

Fixed or Combination

10

Effort is applied by pulling up.

Moveable

20

Load moves the same distance that the rope is pulled by the effort.

Fixed.

20

The load moves half the distance that the rope is pulled by the effort.

Moveable

20

Distance the load moves comparison to the applied effort force will depend on the number of pulleys

Combination

20

In theory, lifting takes the same effort as lifting without the pulley. In practice, effort must be greater than load.

Fixed.

20

Lifting requires less force than without pulley, but it must be applied over a greater distance.

Moveable

20

Less and less effort is required to lift heavy loads as more pulleys are added.

Combination

15

Load is supported with one rope. Mechanical Advantage = 1

Fixed

15

One pulley supports the load with 2 ropes. Mechanical Advantage = 2

Moveable

15

Number of rope segments determines the Mechanical Advantage.
