About this document
Understanding Fixed Pulleys and Their Mechanics by sukmawening is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. A fixed pulley has a fixed axle and is used to change the direction of a pulling force but does not increase the mechanical advantage, which remains 1. 2. It requires more effort than the load to lift the load since the fixed pulley cannot move and the effort force must overcome both the load and friction. 3. The advantage is that the pulley does not need to be lifted, only the load, but the disadvantage is a higher effort force is needed compared to the load.
