What are some simple machines? • Lever • Incline Plane • Pulley
Simple Machines • Multiply the effort force (allows you to use a smaller effort force to raise a heavier object). • Change the direction of the force. • Do not reduce the work input.

Mechanical Advantage MA= Output Force(Weight of Object) Input Force (Effort) • MA shows how much you are multiplying your effort force.
What is the trade off? • What happens to the effort distance, when a machine multiplies the effort force? • Answer: Effort distance increases
Ideal Mechanical Advantage • IMA= Effort Distance (din ) Output Distance (dout ) • IMA is equal to MA in the absence of friction (ideal case).
IMA for a Lever • IMA= Effort Distance = Effort Arm Output Distance Load Arm
Problem What is the ideal mechanical advantage of the lever shown? IMA=3 Load Fulcrum Effort
Lever • http://www.walter-fendt.de/ph11e/lever.htm
Types of Levers • Type1 • Type 2 • Type 3

Problem: Find the IMA. 10m 5m
Single Fixed Pulley Ideally: Win=Wout Findin= Foutdout IMA= din /dout =1
Single Moveable Pulley IMA= 2
IMA for Pulleys • The IMA of pulleys can quickly be found by counting the number of lifting strands.
Question What is the IMA of the following pulleys?
Efficiency • Efficiency indicates the percentage of the input work that was converted to useful work and not lost to friction. • % eff = (Wout / Win) x 100 % • % eff = (MA / IMA) x 100 %
