– Know the six simple machines
– Understand how they help us do work
– Know how to calculate work and MA if given the
basic versions of the formula
– Know units of work, force, and distance
Six Simple Machines
• Inclined Plane
• Wedge
• Screw
• Lever
• Pulley
• Wheel & Axle
Mechanical Advantage
Inclined Plane
• Reduces force, but increases distance
• The mechanical advantage of an inclined
plane is length divided by height.
• Wedges and screws are types of inclined
planes.
MA = L/H
Wedge
• A wedge generates outward forces
• A wedge is a type of inclined plane. Its
mechanical advantage is its length divided by
its greatest thickness.
Screw
• A screw is an inclined
plane wrapped around
a cylinder
• Uses a small force over
a longer distance
• The closer the threads,
the lower the force
required
Levers – Three Classes
• Can change direction & size of force
• In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between
the force and the load.
• In a second-class lever, the load is between
the force and the fulcrum.
• In a third-class lever, the force is between the
fulcrum and the load.
First Class Lever
Change direction & maybe force
Second Class Lever
Change force, but not direction
Third Class Lever
Don’t change direction, output < input
Pulleys
• Change direction and may change input force
• Types of pulleys include fixed pulleys, movable
pulleys, and block and tackles.
Wheel and Axle
• The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle
is the radius of the wheel divided by the
radius of the axle.
Compound Machines
• Compound machines consist of two or more
simple machines.
• Compound machines have low mechanical
efficiencies because they have more moving
parts and therefore more friction to
overcome.
Question 1
• Which of the following simple machines is a
wedge?
• A. Wheelbarrow
• B. Doorknob
• C. Ax
