This project is a complete SolidWorks assembly of a compound pulley system, designed to illustrate the principles of mechanical advantage. The setup includes a combination of fixed and movable pulleys arranged to reduce the effort required to lift a heavy load.
Key Features:
Complex Assembly: Features multiple pulleys, a fixed support beam, ropes, and a system of hanging weights.
Physics Simulation Ready: The assembly is constrained to allow for realistic motion analysis, demonstrating how force is distributed through the ropes.
Realistic Design: Modeled with appropriate materials, including wooden pulleys and a support structure, giving it the appearance of a classic physics experiment apparatus.
Educational Tool: Ideal for visualizing concepts of force, tension, and mechanical advantage in a mechanical system.
