Pulleys and Block and Tackle Experiment Set

The Pulleys and Block and Tackle Experiment Set is an experiment kit for demonstrating how forces can be altered in direction and be distributed over an area by a simple machine.

Introducing new concepts

As well as showing forces being altered, the experiment set also enables the concepts of mechanical work, power and energy to be introduced to students in an engaging and visual way.

Easy Set-Up

Every experiment for the set can easily and quickly be set up. This is because the closed plastic frame around the pulleys means that the cord can't slip out, streamlining the set-up process.

A Range of Experiment Topics

The experiment set enables a range of experiment topics to be demonstrated and performed:

• Fixed pulley
• Movable pulley
• Block and tackle
• Wheel on axle
