Model and construct 3 simple pulley systems, designed to lift loads
Mechanical systems allow us to perform tasks that would otherwise be very difficult, such as pulley systems that lift objects that would otherwise be far too heavy to move. For example, cranes on building sites that move heavy materials.
This KS4 maths resource focuses on the use and application of pulley systems.
