This document contains a worksheet about pulleys with fill-in-the-blank and short answer questions. It asks students to define key pulley terms like fixed pulley, movable pulley, mechanical advantage. It also contains diagrams of different pulley systems and asks students to identify the type of pulley and whether certain statements are true or false about effort and changing direction. Finally, it asks students to define combined pulley systems and provide examples of pulley applications and to explain what a mechanical advantage of 4 means.
