Making WORK easier!
Types of Simple Machines

Pulley
Screw
Big Bang Theory clip
Inclined Plane
Wheel and
axle
Ideal Mechanical Advantage - Pulley
I.M.A. = number of rope sections
pulling upwards
IMA = 1
IMA = 2
IMA = 1
Changes direction of force so
the work is easier (you are
now working with gravity
instead of against it)
IMA = 2
Multiplies the force
by 2 so that you can
lift something twice
as heavy as you pull.
Single Fixed
Pulley
Movable Pulley
IMA = 2
IMA = 1

Wheel and axle
I.M.A. = radius of wheel
radius of axle
Wedge
Two sloping sides – changes direction of
the force
Screw
A wedge with an inclined plane wrapped
around it
More turns = higher mechanical advantage
Frayer Model
Examples:
Non-examples:
See-saw
Wheelbarrow
Crowbar
Rake
1st class levers
Essential
Characteristics:
Effort force, Resistance
force, and fulcrum present.
Fulcrum is between effort
force and resistance force.
Non-essential
Characteristics:
Mechanical advantage is
one or more.
Makes work easier by
multiplying the force.
