It increases the amount of work produced to lift the object. It increases the amount of work produced to lift the object. It changes the direction of the lifting force to work with gravity. It changes the direction of the lifting force to work with gravity. It decreases the distance over which the force must be applied to lift the object. It decreases the distance over which the force must be applied to lift the object.

Answer 1

A pulley makes work easier by **changing the direction of the lifting force to work with gravity**. This allows a person to pull down on a rope to lift an object upward, making the lifting process more manageable.
