Question
A moveable pulley provides MA whereas the fixed pulley changes the direction of the force.Question 2Answera.Trueb.False
Solution
The statement is true.
A movable pulley does provide mechanical advantage (MA). This is because the movable pulley allows the effort to be halved, as the load is shared between two sections of the rope.
A fixed pulley, on the other hand, does not provide a mechanical advantage. It only changes the direction of the force. This means that the effort you put in is equal to the load you are lifting.
So, the correct answer is a. True.
