What are the different types of pulleys?

The main types of pulleys are:
  1. Fixed Pulley – Changes the direction of force but doesn’t reduce effort.
  2. Movable Pulley – Moves with the load and reduces the effort needed.
  3. Compound Pulley – Combines fixed and movable pulleys for greater mechanical advantage.
  4. Block and Tackle – Multiple pulleys used together to lift heavy loads efficiently.
