  1. Simple Machines are used to: • Transfer kinetic energy (the energy of motion) • Reduce the effort needed to move a load • Change the direction or amount of motion • Change the type of motion (rotary to straight line)

  2. Key Terms: • Effort (E) = the input force • Either the user or some type of engine supplies this force. • Load (R) = the output force. • Also known as the force resisting the motion.

  3. Key Terms: • Mechanical Advantage (MA) = a measure of how much effort is decreased by the simple machine. Load Effort Mechanical Advantage = R E MA =

  4. Key Terms: • Work : The force applied on an object times the distance traveled by the object. Work = (Force)Distance = (F)d Starting Position Finishing Position Force Distance

  5. Key Terms: • Friction results from two bodies moving against each other in different directions. • Friction always opposes motion and makes doing work harder. • Lubricants (graphite, oil, grease, silicone) and bearings are used to combat friction. • Sometimes, friction is a good thing! • Efficiency is the ratio of the work that results to the amount of work put into the machine.

  6. Key Terms: Power is the rate at which work is performed. Energy describes the amount of work that can be performed by a force. W t E=W P= P = power W = work t = time E = energy

  7. Levers • A lever is a stiff bar which rotates around a point called the fulcrum. • The forces on the lever are the Effort (E) and the load (R).

  8. Levers E = Effort R = Load LE = Length (distance) from fulcrum to Effort LR = Length (distance) from fulcrum to Load (R)

  9. CW (-) CCW (+) Key Term: Moment = Force x distance to fulcrum The Effort is positive because it is rotating in a counter clock wise rotation around the fulcrum. The Load is negative because it is rotating in a clock wise rotation around the fulcrum.

  10. A Lever in Equilibrium Moment 1 = Moment 2 Force 1 x distance 1 = Force 2 x distance 2 300 lb x 4 ft = 1200 lb x 1 ft 1200 ft-lb = 1200 ft-lb

  11. Mechanical Advantage 1200 lb 300 lb Load Effort R E Mechanical Advantage = = = = 4 LE LR 4 ft 1 ft MA = = = 4 LE LR So... R E or LE(E) = LR(R) =

  12. Problem #1 • You are given a board that is 8 feet long and a rock to use as a fulcrum and you need to lift a heavy object. Where would you place the rock? Why? LE becomes very large. LR becomes very small. Place the rock as close as possible to the load MA Increases

  13. 1st Class Lever If LE greater than LR, then MA greater than 1 If LE less than LR, then MA less than 1

  14. 2nd Class Levers Since LE greater than LR, then MA greater than 1

  15. 3rd Class Levers Since the LE less than LR, then MA less than 1

  16. Problem #2 Given: LE = 6 ft, LR = 3 ft, E = 1 lb Find R. Solution: R 1lb LE R LR E 6 ft 3 ft So.. = 2 2 = = 2 lb = =

  17. Problem #3 Given: R = 8 lb , LE = 4 ft , E = 4 lb Find LR. Solution: 8 lb 4 lb LE R LR E 4 ft LR = LR= 2 ft = = =

  20. Wheel and Axle as a 3rd Class Lever

  21. Formulas for Wheel & Axle Load Effort Mechanical Advantage = Radius to Effort Radius to Load LE LR MA = =

  22. Problem #4 • A wheel with a 12 inch radius is used to turn an axle with a radius .5 inches. What is the mechanical advantage? Radius to Effort Radius to Load LE LR MA = = Radius of Wheel Radius of Axel 12 in .5 in MA = = = 24

  23. Problem #5 • Consider an axle used to drive the wheels of a car. The wheel radius is 12 inches, while the axle radius is 1 inch. What is the mechanical advantage? Radius to Effort Radius to Load LE LR MA = = Radius of Axle Radius of Wheel 1in 12 in MA = = = 0.083

  24. Wheel & Axle – Rotary to Linear You need to know the Circumference of Wheel C = (Π)Wheel Diameter = (3.14)D S = Distance traveled in one revolution S

  25. Problem #6 • If your car has tires with a diameter of 24 inches how many times will the tires rotate if the car travels 100 feet? 24 inches = 2 feet C = (Π)Wheel Diameter = (3.14)2 ft = 6.28 ft. S = Distance traveled in one revolution = 6.28 ft 100 ft 6.28 ft Number of Revolutions = = 15.9 revolutions

  26. The Pulley

  27. Pulleys and Work Work at Effort end = Work at Load end (Effort) Dist. traveled by rope = (Load) Dist. moved by Load MA = The number of strands supporting the load. (The end strand ONLY counts when the effort is pointing upward.)

  29. Problem #7 The pulley system shown is used to lift a load of 60 lbs a distance of 2’. How much effort must be applied, and how much rope do you need to pull?

  30. Problem #7 Answer MA = # of strands = 6 R E 60 lb E 6 = = Effort = 10 lb Distance traveled = 2 ft * 6 Distance traveled = 12 ft

  31. The Inclined Plane

  32. Geometry and Definitions R E MA = E or Effort R or Load The Effort is parallel to the Inclined Plane. The Load is 900 to the ground. Or in the direction of gravity.

  33. Geometry and Definitions L H MA = L or Length of Inclined Plane H or Height of Inclined Plane The Length is how long the Inclined Plane is. The Height is vertical distance between the starting point and ending point.
