Combination

Moveable.
Effort is always applied by pulling down, to work with force of gravity
Fixed or Combination
Effort is applied by pulling up.
Moveable
Load moves the same distance that the rope is pulled by the effort.
Fixed.
The load moves half the distance that the rope is pulled by the effort.
Moveable
Distance the load moves comparison to the applied effort force will depend on the number of pulleys
Combination
In theory, lifting takes the same effort as lifting without the pulley. In practice, effort must be greater than load.
Fixed.
Lifting requires less force than without pulley, but it must be applied over a greater distance.
Moveable
Less and less effort is required to lift heavy loads as more pulleys are added.
Combination
Load is supported with one rope. Mechanical Advantage = 1
Fixed
One pulley supports the load with 2 ropes. Mechanical Advantage = 2
Moveable
Number of rope segments determines the Mechanical Advantage.
