The pulley system is a fundamental mechanical device that employs a wheel with grooved rim, called a sheave, through which a rope or cable passes. It allows for the change in direction of an applied force and can be used to lift heavy objects, transfer power, or create tension. The concept involves simple machines principles, where the work done by the user is equal to the output work, but with a mechanical advantage that reduces the effort required.
