To pull might include pulling something physical, such as a door with a sign on it:

Pull!
…or something non-physical such as attention – to attract.
For example:
[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/למשוך-3.m4a” /]היא מושכת את תשומת הלב של כולם.
She attracts everyone’s attention.
Thus attraction is משיכה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/למשוך-4.m4a” /]… as in gravity, as in:
