Hi everyone! Today, I'm going to talk about pulleys and how they work.

Pulleys are really

cool because they help us lift and move heavy things easily.

First, let's talk about the different types of pulleys. There are three main types: fixed pulleys,
movable pulleys, and compound pulleys.

A fixed pulley is like a wheel that doesn't move. You can imagine it like a flagpole. When you
attach a rope to a fixed pulley and pull it, the pulley helps you lift things up.

A movable pulley is different because it moves along with the load. When you pull the rope,
the pulley moves with it, making it easier to lift things. It's like using a pulley to lift a bucket
from a well.

Now, the compound pulley is really special because it combines both fixed and movable
pulleys. It helps us lift really heavy things with less effort. It's like having a lot of friends
helping you lift something heavy together.

Next, let's look at the different parts of a pulley. A pulley has a wheel or disc that spins. It has
a groove in the middle where we put the rope. The rope goes around the wheel, and that's
how it helps us lift things.

There is also an important part called the shaft. It's like the pulley's backbone, and it helps
the pulley spin smoothly. We also have something called bearings inside the shaft that make
the spinning even easier.

Finally, we have the flanges, which are like the pulley's side walls. They keep the rope from
falling off the pulley when we lift things.

So, in summary, pulleys are amazing because they help us lift heavy things easily. We have
different types of pulleys like fixed, movable, and compound pulleys. They have parts like the
wheel, groove, shaft, bearings, and flanges that work together to make lifting easier.

I hope you enjoyed learning about pulleys with me! Thank you for listening!
