Have you ever wondered how elevators move us up and down in buildings? It’s like magic! Elevators use a system of pulleys and cables. Imagine a playground swing; when you pull on the swing's rope, it goes up! Elevators work the same way. They have strong cables that loop over a pulley at the top. When the cable pulls one side, it lifts the elevator up. But what about heavy loads? That’s where counterweights come in! These are like balancing weights on a seesaw. They help make sure the elevator moves smoothly and doesn’t use too much energy. So next time you ride in an elevator, remember the amazing teamwork of pulleys, cables, and counterweights making your ride safe and fun!
