Warm up 5/08/13 • Question: A machine lets you use 5 N of force to lift an object that weights 10 N – What is its MA? • Answer: • MA =output force / input force • MA = 10 N / 5N = 2 • Goal: I will calculate mechanical advantage.
Element of the day • 76 – Osmium – Os • Osmium is the hardest metal element, and is at least as expensive as rhenium. • Osmium and iridium are alloyed in an incredibly hard and wear resistant material that was used in fountain pens and phonograph needles. • Osmium powder reacts with the air to produce a vapor called osmium tetroxide which is deadly. • Osmium is the densest element.
