    Study Notes

    Simple Machines

    • The primary function of a simple machine is to make work easier by changing the direction or magnitude of the force applied.
    • Examples of simple machines include levers, pulleys, wheels, and axles, inclined planes, and screws.
    • Simple machines are used to make our lives more comfortable by reducing the effort required to perform a task.

    Complex Machines

    • A complex machine is an example of a machine made up of two or more simple machines.
    • What distinguishes complex machines from simple machines is that they are made up of multiple simple machines.

    Mechanical Advantage

    • The term for the external force applied to a machine is effort.
    • The term for the force against which a machine works is load.
    • The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied.
    • The mechanical advantage of a machine if a load of 60 N is moved on applying an effort of 15 N is 4.

    Levers

    • A lever is a rigid body capable of rotating about a fixed point or axis called the fulcrum.
    • The term for the fixed point about which a machine turns while doing mechanical work is fulcrum.

    Efficiency

    • The efficiency of a machine represents the ratio of the output energy to the input energy.

    Velocity Ratio

    • The term for the ratio of the velocity of effort to the velocity of load in the context of simple machines is velocity ratio.
    • The velocity ratio is used to calculate the mechanical advantage of a machine.

    Other Machines

    • A computer is an example of a complex machine based on the given text.
    • A machine used to draw water from a well is a type of simple machine.

    Key Terms

    • The term for the energy fed to a machine is input energy.
    • The term for the ratio of the output energy to the input energy is efficiency.
