• e. Calculate amounts of work and mechanical advantage using simple machines. – Know the six simple machines– Understand how they help us do work– Know how to calculate work and MA if given the

basic versions of the formula– Know units of work, force, and distance

Six Simple Machines

• Inclined Plane• Wedge• Screw

• Lever• Pulley• Wheel & Axle

Mechanical Advantage

Inclined Plane

• Reduces force, but increases distance• The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane

is length divided by height. • Wedges and screws are types of inclined

planes.

MA = L/H

Wedge

• A wedge generates outward forces• A wedge is a type of inclined plane. Its

mechanical advantage is its length divided by its greatest thickness.

Screw

• A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder

• Uses a small force over a longer distance

• The closer the threads, the lower the force required

Levers – Three Classes

• Can change direction & size of force• In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between

the force and the load.• In a second-class lever, the load is between

the force and the fulcrum. • In a third-class lever, the force is between the

fulcrum and the load.

First Class LeverChange direction & maybe force

Second Class LeverChange force, but not direction

Third Class LeverDon’t change direction, output < input

Pulleys

• Change direction and may change input force• Types of pulleys include fixed pulleys, movable

pulleys, and block and tackles.

Wheel and Axle

• The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the radius of the wheel divided by the radius of the axle.

Compound Machines

• Compound machines consist of two or more simple machines.

• Compound machines have low mechanical efficiencies because they have more moving parts and therefore more friction to overcome.

Question 1

• Which of the following simple machines is a wedge?

• A. Wheelbarrow• B. Doorknob• C. Ax• D. Truck ramp

Answer

• Which of the following simple machines is an example of a wedge?

• A. Wheelbarrow• B. Doorknob• C. Ax• D. Truck ramp

Question 2

• What is the pivot point of a lever called?• A. Load• B. Fulcrum• C. Wedge • D. Effort

Answer

• What is the pivot point of a lever called?• A. Load• B. Fulcrum• C. Wedge • D. Effort

Question 3

• A student pushes on a lever with a force of 40N. The 150N load does not move. Which of the following is true?

• A. Input force is 40 N and work done is 0 J.• B. Input force is 40 N and work done is 600 J.• C. Output force is 40 N and work done is 150J.• D. Output force is 150N and work done is 40J.

Answer
