Can anyone really explain how pulleys work? I mean not in theoretical terms

Date: November 22nd, 2025 8:19 PM Author: TNY PNS Pulleys work by using a wheel and rope to multiply force and change the direction of a force, making it easier to lift heavy objects. A single, fixed pulley can change the direction of force, while a system of multiple pulleys (called a block-and-tackle) provides mechanical advantage by distributing the weight across more ropes, requiring less force to lift the load, but over a longer distance.

But then why does the effort required to lift the load decrease with every additional pulley system? |

Date: November 22nd, 2025 8:33 PM Author: real men wearing real watches cq. if anything it seems like a system of two pulleys would “unreverse” the gravity, thereby rendering it useless. kind of like a “double negative” for the wordcels out there.

Date: November 22nd, 2025 8:39 PM Author: Amateur Millennial Butt Porn He didn't say anything about compound pulleys. I think OP is genuinely wondering why a rope on a wheel moves when you pull it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5801213&forum_id=2...id#49452864) |

Date: November 22nd, 2025 9:22 PM Author: yooper (πΊπΈ π΅π±) it's because you're trading distance for force (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5801213&forum_id=2...id#49452950) |

Date: November 22nd, 2025 9:31 PM Author: Amateur Millennial Butt Porn A fixed pulley has no effect on force (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5801213&forum_id=2...id#49452968) |

Date: November 22nd, 2025 9:03 PM Author: lucius quinctius cincinnatus (his own flesh as well as all space was still a cage) Unrelatedly, are pulleys a sign that God came down and inspired us by showing through one of the profits that this is a pulley? And if that happened millennia ago, is it still happening now? Are today’s rich and famous really prophets chosen by God? Will Elon Musk and Sam Altman lead us to Nirvana? |

you should also buy some rope and learn some knots. this is my favorite knot that I use multiple times per week: https://www.animatedknots.com/tumble-hitch-knot |
