Combination

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

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

Moveable

Number of rope segments determines the Mechanical Advantage.

Combination

What kind of pulley is a CLOTHESLINE?

Fixed

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

Combination

Pulley and load move when rope is pulled.

Moveable.

What kind of pulley is a FLAG POLE?
