Types of Wheel Pulleys
1. Fixed Pulleys
Fixed pulleys are stationary and change the direction of the force applied. They are commonly used in flagpoles.
2. Movable Pulleys
Movable pulleys are attached to the load being moved and reduce the effort required. They are often seen in elevators.
3. Compound Pulleys
Compound pulleys combine fixed and movable pulleys to provide a mechanical advantage. They are ideal for lifting heavy loads in construction.
