A staircase in an apartment building.

     This simple machine is just like the one in the picture on the front cover.  We use this machine to pull a load to the top without using a lot of force.

     There is a tradeoff, though!  We pull the load over a longer distance than we would if we just lifted it up straight to the top.

     Which simple machine is it?
