Q

What is a grooved pulley?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic rigging terminology used with blocks and tackle • The difference between the wheel that the line runs in and the entire housing/assembly • How sailors describe running a line through a block system

💭 Think About

• Which term specifically names the round wheel that the line sits in, with a groove around its edge? • Which term is used to describe the action of passing a line through a block or set of blocks? • Which term refers to the whole casing that can hold one or more pulleys, not just a single grooved wheel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is the name of the grooved wheel itself • Eliminate any option that describes an action rather than an object • Eliminate any option that refers to the entire block assembly instead of the individual grooved pulley
