Artwork: How pulleys work#1: With one wheel, a pulley simply reverses the direction of the force you apply. ... Artwork: How pulleys work#2: With two wheels and two ropes, a pulley halves the lifting force you need. But you have to pull the end of the rope twice as far.

Each one makes work easier to do by providing some trade-off between the force applied and the distance over which the force is applied. ... When two or more pulleys are connected together, they permit a heavy load to be lifted with less force. The trade-off is that the end of the rope must move a greater distance than the...
