If you think about it, a wheel is a bunch of levers, with the fulcrum being the hub. since a pulley is simply a string on a wheel, it is a lever. Although pulleys and levers are similar in the way discribed above, they are different in other ways. levers magnify the force used. If the fulcrum is twice as close to the resistance (where the object being lifted sits at) as it is to the force (the point at which the person is pushing or pulling the lever) then you can lift twice as much than if you caried the load by hand. The force magnified by the pulley corresponds to the number of wheels in the pulley. the more wheels, the bigger the magnification so the magnification in a lever coresponds to the position of the fulcrum whereas the magnification in the pulley coresponds to the wheels. In this way they are not the same.
