Answer

  • A fixed pulley is one of many simple machines that can make work easier. In the fixed pulley system, we pull down on one side of the rope and the other side goes up. Here the pulley can change the direction of force on a rope or belt that moves along its circumference.
  • we use the same amount of force to pull down as we lift the toy ourselves.
