Pulley System - Clothes Hanger


This clothes hanger is made of a pulley system that consists of a fixed pulley seen at the top - attached to the ceiling and a movable pulley seen at the bottom that determines the height at which the clothes are hung.
Next
The fixed pulley is necessary as the person (standing below) exerts an effort (pulling string) that makes the load (clothes) go in the opposite direction.
Next
The movable pulley reduces effort used but the trade-off for less effort is that the effort must travel a longer distance than the load. - meaning you will have to pull the string for a longer distance than the distance that the clothes will move up.
Next
If you have one at home, try it out.
