  2. A machine that only changes the amount of force not direction

  3. Both

  4. None


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A single fixed pulley is a machine that only changes the direction of the force applied, not the amount.

A pulley can reduce the effort needed to overcome a particular load 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A

Single fixed pulley has an mechanical advantage of

  1. 1

  2. 0

  3. 2

  4. 100


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A sing;e fixed pulley like the one having an ideal mechanical advantage of 1 since the effort force is equal to the load force.
