How does a pulley work? What is it? Colorful diagrams and fun-to-do experiments help you explore the many ways this simple machine can help make work easier and faster.




Pulleys and Gears


Book Description

What pulls a flag up a flagpole? How does a bicycle chain help the bicycle move? What makes an escalator move? Pulleys and gears are simple machines that can be used to make other machines work. When you take an escalator, ride in a car, use a fishing rod, or wear a watch you are using pulleys and gears. Pulleys and Gears explains what these machines are and how they help you do everyday things.
