SImple Machines: Pulleys (1954)

Explains how pulleys work to lift heavy weights more easily. A fixed pulley changes the direction of force, allowing for easier lifting, while a movable pulley reduces the amount of force needed to lift a weight. By using multiple pulleys in a system known as a block and tackle, the force required to lift a weight can be significantly decreased, although this requires moving the force over a greater distance. The video illustrates how different pulley setups can help in lifting heavy loads more efficiently.
