13. Simple Machines Pulleys Pulleys A pulley is a modified lever. A pulley is a modified lever. The point in the middle of the pulley is like the fulcrum of the lever, and the rest of the pulley acts like the rigid arm of a lever. The point in the middle of the pulley is like the fulcrum of the lever, and the rest of the pulley acts like the rigid arm of a lever. Because the distance of the fulcrum is the same on both sides of a pulley, a single, fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1. Because the distance of the fulcrum is the same on both sides of a pulley, a single, fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1. Using moving pulleys or more than one pulley at a time can increase mechanical advantage. Using moving pulleys or more than one pulley at a time can increase mechanical advantage. Multiple pulleys put together are called block and tackle or compound pulleys. Multiple pulleys put together are called block and tackle or compound pulleys.
