A simple machine made of a wheel with a rope around it

Real World Example

Imagine trying to lift a heavy grocery bag by yourself, struggling as you hoist it higher. This scenario is similar to how a pulley works, as both involve overcoming the challenge of lifting weight with reduced effort. Just as a pulley uses a wheel and rope to distribute weight and make lifting easier, using both hands and shifting your body weight in lifting the bag achieves a similar effect, redistributing effort and leverage to make the task more manageable.
