Exercise Machine, Pulley and Lever

This machine has a lever and a pulley component. The pulley is the black wheel/knob that has a black rope running around it, and connects to the lever (headrest/gray metal bars with the attached cushion) so that when you apply effort/force to the headrest, you can indirectly move the load of the weights by moving the load on the end of the lever (which is applied by tension from the pulley's rope), which in turn moves the weights on the other side of the pulley.

Work Out Equipment (pulley, lever)

The pulleys are used to hold up the load of the weights, and the lever, the arm bar, is a 1st class lever with the load from the pulleys on one end, the fulcrum in the middle, and the effort on the opposite end

A Crane

 
The crane in the construction site outside the Littlefield cafe has a pulley and wheel system. It has a six pulley system at the top section of the tower, that is used to raise and lower a heavy hook meant for moving heavy objects. There is also a wheel/pulley system on the side section of the crane arm (right of the picture) that serves as a fastener for the top section, and appears to be in a tightened position, but was in the process of being unwound at the moment of the picture.

Pulley Winch (Wheel, Pulley, Screw, Wedge)

This pulley winch is part of a pulley system and utilizes a wheel for the rope to wind onto, a wedge to keep the wheel in place and stop it from rotating, and a screw to hold the parts together. This winch is used to support banners hung over a walkway.

Features a class 2 lever with a counter weight and fulcrum at one end. The effort on the other end and the load in the middle. The load is held up by a series of pulleys that are connected to weight down below.

My Bicycle (Pulley & Gears)

The levers on which the pedals are attached turn the gears in a basic chain and pulley system. The rotation of the gears rotates the bicycle wheel initiating motion.

Crane: lever and pulley

This crane uses this lever arm and pulley for a mechanical advantage. It can then pick up and move things that weigh a lot.

Bicep Exercise Machine- Pulley and Lever

This piece of workout equipment combines a pulley with a lever. The pulley changes the direction of the force and is integrated into a lever mechanism causing a change in where the user feels the resistance of the machine as he/she pulls in the lever, working out specific areas of muscle in the arm.

The pulley on the cable machine in Gregory Gym in the weight room. Hopefully the guy I took a picture of isn't worried about his image all over the internet. You are able to see the cable being strung under the pulley as the pulley reaches around to pull the weights up for a strenuous arm/back/shoulder workout.
