How are the double pulley systems different?

Double pulley systems are different from the one pulley system because the weight is now attacked to a pulley instead of an anchor. Another pulley is used to take some of the weight. A two pulley system only requires half the effort as a single pulley system.

What are the differences between a fixed pulley and a moving pulley and how do each of them change work?

The difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley is, the wheel of a fixed pulley does not move because the wheel is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object. Unlike a fixed pulley, a movable pulley's wheel does move. The wheel on a movable pulley is not attached to a wall or other object. A fixed pulley changes work by changing the direction of a force. A movable pulley changes work by reducing the input force needed to lift heavy objects. A movable pulley changes the direction of the input force and reduced it. A movable pulley also increases the output force.
