A pulley typically consists of two main parts: a wheel with a groove for a rope or belt to run along, and a shaft that supports the wheel and allows it to rotate. The wheel can either be fixed in place or able to move.

A flagpole can be considered a simple pulley system because the rope attached to the flag acts as a type of pulley, allowing the flag to be raised and lowered by pulling on the rope. This system demonstrates how pulleys can be used to change the direction of force to make lifting and lowering objects easier.
A pulley system with a rope or cable is typically used to raise a flag up a flagpole. The pulley helps to lift the flag efficiently and can be manually operated or automated for larger flagpoles.
A filename typically consists of two parts: the actual name of the file and its file extension. The file extension helps to identify the type of file and the program that should be used to open it.
A fixed pulley consists of a grooved wheel attached to a fixed point, such as a ceiling or wall. It does not move up or down but changes the direction of the force applied to it. The load is attached to the pulley, and the effort is applied to the other end of the rope or cable.
The pulley system helped lift the heavy boxes to the second floor of the building.
