Pulleys | Simple Machines Inquiry

 L.I to learn how the system of a Pulley works, by creating a diagram.



Our focus this term for inquiry is Simple Machines. For LS2 to have a clear understanding; we were required to research how these simple machines manufacture and they're purpose. 

One of these Simple Machines are a Pulley. Pulleys are constructed by looping one or two wheels. They are sometimes used to move large weights by pressing down on one end of the rope, causing an upward tug at the other end. In this machine, there are 7 parts(Axle, wheel, rope/cable, laod, groove, hook and effort) for the machine to properly formulate. This can be seen in the Diagram shown above.
