Tell me how?





                                How can a crane lift very heavy things ?





                 To lift heavy things a crane has pulleys and gears.

                            Only a little power is used by it.


























                                                               Heavy crane


















              Air crane

              A wheel and a rope make a pulley. It makes
              an easier job of lifting heavy things.

              It is not easy to lift by hand.

              It can be lifted more easily if a pulley is used.
              If two pulleyes are used it is very easy to lift
              the same load.
