Today you are going to…take notes on the simple machines So you can…calculate the estimated & actual mechanical advantage You’ll know you’ve got it when you can • Answer the questions at the end of class
Machines can do 3 things • Change direction of force • Increase force & decrease distance • Decrease force & increase distance
Mechanical advantage – how much machine multiplies force or increases distance • Ratio between output force and input force • OR • input distance and output distance • >1 1 multiplies input force, < 1multiples distance & speed
Simple Machines • Simple machines – most basic machines • 6 types • 3 in lever family • Simple levers (3 classes!) • Pulleys • Wheel & axle • 3 in inclined plane family • Simple inclined Plane • Wedge • Screw
1. Simple Levers 3 parts of a lever: Input, fulcrum, & output Input (aka effort) – force you’re applying Fulcrum – pivot point, doesn’t move Output (aka load, resistance) – what you’re lifting 3 classes of levers depending on location of input, fulcrum, & output
1st Class Lever • 1st IFO – fulcrum in middle • Most common type • May increase force or distance depending on location of fulcrum • Always changes direction • Sea saw, hammer • Pliers – 2 1st class levers put together
2nd Class Lever • 2nd FOI – Output • Increases force, decreases distance • Wheelbarrow, nutcrackers, hinged doors
3rd Class Lever • 3rd FIO • Increases distance object is moved, decreases force • Fishing rod, forearm
Estimated Mechanical Advantage of Levers Identify the type of lever, find the mechanical advantage, and find the missing force.
Mechanical Advantage of Levers Identify the type of lever, find the mechanical advantage, and find the missing force.
Mechanical Advantage of Levers Identify the type of lever, find the mechanical advantage, and find the missing force.
Mechanical Advantage of Levers Identify the type of lever, find the mechanical advantage, and find the missing force.
Mechanical Advantage of Levers Identify the type of lever, find the mechanical advantage, and find the missing force.
1. Simple Levers • 1st Class OFA – Fulcrum in middle • Most common type • Sea saw, crowbar • Pliers – 2 1st class levers put together • 2nd FOA – output (load) in middle • Increases force, decreases distance • nutcrackers, hinged doors, wheelbarrow • 3rd FIO – input (effort) in middle • Increases distance object is moved, decreases force • forearm, baseball bat, hockey stick, rake
Pulley • Modified levers • Middle of pulley is fulcrum of lever • Single fixed pulley mechanical advantage of 1 – both sides of lever same length • Changes direction of force
Pulley • Using more than 1 pulley at a time increases mechanical advantage • Block and tackle – several pulleys put together in single unit
2. Pulleys • Modified levers • Center of pulley is fulcrum of lever • Single fixed pulley mechanical advantage of 1 – both sides of lever same length • Changes direction of force • Using more than 1 pulley at a time increases mechanical advantage • Block and tackle - several pulleys put together in single unit
3. Wheel & Axle • Lever/pulley connected to shaft • Steering wheel of car, screwdriver, crank • Multiples force (or distance)
3. Wheel & Axle • made up of two circular objects of different sizes • axle (a rod) attached to the center of a larger wheel
3. Wheel & Axle • two machines in one because you can use each part in different ways. • roll something along wheels cut down on friction • Generally, the bigger the wheel = easier to roll • like a “lever in the round” • door knob, sink faucet handle are round levers • fulcrum is in the middle where the axle turns
Larger wheel diameter less force needed • Larger wheel diameter have to turn further
Wheel and Axle • MA = Radius of wheel or = diameter of wheel Radius of axle diameter of axle
D.J. uses a crowbar to move a 600 N Dom. The effort arm is 80 cm long and the arm is 15 cm long. What type of lever is this? What is the mechanical advantage?
Inclined plane • a ramp used to reduce the effort needed to raise or lower an object • How can he make it take less force? • MA =
Bell Work 5/9/12 – 5 minutes Find type & mechanical advantage.
Wedge • Wedge - simple machine used to separate objects (or hold them together) • made up of one or two inclined planes that meet & form sharp edge • Difference between wedge & inclined plane: • Wedge moves, inclined plane doesn’t • Effort force applied in different directions • a sharper wedge yields a larger force. • Ex: knives, axes, forks and nails
Wedge • Thinner, more mechanical advantage • How could you increase the MA of an ax or knife? • Sharpen it!
