Now imagine, how would this garland of pots lift water from the well?

उत्तर
The garland of pots is connected with the ‘toothed wheel’ and thus the garland of pots moves. Once a pot is in water, it gets filled with water. The pot moves upward, carrying water along with it. Once the pot reaches the level of the canal, water is emptied in the canal.
