Pulleys and sheaves are fundamental mechanical components used to transmit force, facilitate motion, and enhance mechanical efficiency in a wide range of applications. These simple yet ingenious devices play a pivotal role in various industries, from transportation and manufacturing to construction and everyday machinery. A pulley is a wheel with a grooved rim designed to hold a rope, cable, or belt. It's used in combination with other pulleys or a fixed anchor point to redirect force or transmit rotational motion. Pulleys can be classified into three main types:A fixed pulley remains in place and changes only the direction of force applied. It's used to alter the direction of a force, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects vertically.Movable Pulleys: Movable pulleys are attached to the load being lifted. When combined with a fixed pulley, they create a mechanical advantage, reducing the effort required to lift heavy objects. Compound Pulleys: Compound pulleys combine both fixed and movable pulleys to achieve higher mechanical advantage. They're commonly used in scenarios where large loads need to be lifted with minimal effort.
