Description

Boat Pulley Used to hull ropes-- the pulley system, also raised objects on board with ease. A single pulley simply reverses the direction of a force. When two or more pulleys are connected together, they permit a heavy load to be lifted with less force. The trade-off is that the end of the rope must move a greater distance than the load
