1. Simples Machines are Mechanisms that manipulate magnitude of force and distance.
Effort force magnitude is 4 times less than the magnitude of the resistance force.
Effort force travels 4 times greater distance than the resistance force.
5. The force applied on an object times distance the object travels parallel to the force is known as work.
.
Work = force x distance = F · d║
7. If MA is greater than 1:
● Proportionally less effort force is required to overcome the resistance force
● Proportionally greater effort distance is required to overcome the resistance force
If MA is less than 1:
● Proportionally greater effort force is required to overcome the resistance force
● Proportionally less effort distance is required to overcome the resistance force
9. What is the formula for Ideal Mechanical Advantage? Be sure to write down what the variables are.
De
IMA=
Dr
10. IMA
1. Used in efficiency and safety factor design calculations
2. Theory-based calculation
11. What is the formula for Actual Mechanical Advantage? Be sure to write down what the variables are.
Fr
AMA=
Fe
12. AMA
1. Inquiry-based calculation
13. Complete the table below. Be sure to label the fulcrum, effort, and resistance.
1st class lever 2nd class lever 3rd class lever
14. moment is the The turning effect of a force about a point equal to the magnitude of the force times the
perpendicular distance from the point to the line of action from the force.
15. torque is the force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion.
18. Calculate the unknown distance (DR) from the fulcrum to the resistance force.
Formula Substitution Answer
De 50lb
IMA= 50lb = dr=2
Dr Dr
19.In the example above what is the AMA, IMA, and Efficiency?
Efficiency
22. In the diagram of the wheel and axle to the right, if the axle is driving
the wheel, what is the
DE = 5in
DR = 23in
23. Using the same diagram as in 22, calculate the IMA, AMA, and efficiency.
IMA 23 over 5 2 : 10
IMA = Dr over De
