PulleysPulleysChain, belt or rope wrapped Chain, belt or rope wrapped
around a fixed grooved around a fixed grooved wheel.wheel.
A type of lever where the A type of lever where the middle of pulley acts like middle of pulley acts like the fulcrumthe fulcrum
Pulleys con’tPulleys con’tPulley can increase the Pulley can increase the
mechanical advantage mechanical advantage many time depending on many time depending on how many weight how many weight supporting ropes (figure 6)supporting ropes (figure 6)

Incline plane familyIncline plane familyA slanted surface that A slanted surface that
changes the size and changes the size and direction of the force direction of the force needed. Longer ramp = needed. Longer ramp = less force neededless force needed
WedgeWedgeIs a modified incline plane Is a modified incline plane
