Question

What is movable pulley and fixed pulley

Answer 1

Answer:

A pulley is a mechanical device that can be used to lift heavily objects more easily. ... A fixed pulley's wheel and axle stay in one place. A good example of a fixed pulley is a flag pole: When you pull down on the rope, the direction of force is redirected by the pulley, and you raise the flag.

A movable pulley is a pulley that is free to move up and down, and is attached to a ceiling or other object by two lengths of the same rope. Examples of movable pulleys include construction cranes, modern elevators, and some types of weight lifting machines at the gym.
