    MACHINES

    INTRODUCTION

    Machines have been used for centuries, not only to make work easy but also to make it

    efficient and safe. The constructions of simple machines are not complicated. They are used

    in our day-to-day lives. Simple machines do not convert energy from one form into another.

    Complicated machines such as bicycles and sewing machines are made by combining two

    or more simple machines.

    Def. A machine is a device by which we can either overcome a large resistive force at

    some point by applying a small force at a convenient point and in a desired direction or by

    which we can obtain a gain in speed.

    CLASSIFICATION OF MACHINES

    There are certain common terms used for almost every simple machine. Let us understand

    these terms first.

    Input Energy It isthework done on a machine or the energy supplied to amachine.

    Output Energy It is the work done by a machine or the energy obtained from amachine.

    Principle of Machine In an ideal machine, the output energy is equal to the inputenergy. Therefore, mathematically we can express it as .This is called

    the principle of machine.

    Velocity Ratio- The ratio of velocity of effort to the velocity of load is called velocityratio of the machine.

    LEVER

    A lever is a simple machine. It consists of a rigid bar that is capable of turning around a

    pivot (also called the fulcrum). Generally, we use a rod, which rotates freely about thefulcrum.

    For a lever, apart from the general terms used for all machines, we usually use two more

    terms.

    Load Arm It is the distance between the fulcrum and the point where the load isapplied.

    Effort Arm It is the distance between the fulcrum and the point where the effortis applied.

    The working of all levers is based on a common principle. This is called the principle of

    lever.

    Principle of Lever

    Load Load arm = Effort Effort arm

    If we rearrange the equation, we obtain

    Therefore, the mechanical advantage of a lever is nothing but the ratio of the length of itseffort arm to that of its load arm.

    Different types of Lever

    Levers are classified into three types depending upon the positions of load, fulcrum and

    effort.

    Lever of the first order

    When the fulcrum is situated between the load and effort, we call it a lever of the first

    order. For example, beam balance, crowbar, seesaw, etc.

    Crowbar Beam BalanceSeesaw

    Mechanical advantage of a lever of the first order

    In the case of levers of the first order, we try to keep the load arm smaller than the effort

    arm, i.e., effort arm > load arm. Therefore, a big load can be shifted by using a small effort

    with the help of a lever of the first order. As the load arm is smaller than the effort arm,

    Lever of the second order

    When the fulcrum and effort are situated at the opposite ends of the lever, and a load is

    placed in between them, we call it a lever of the second order. For example, nutcracker,wheel-barrow, etc.

    Wheel-Barrow

    Nutcracker

    Mechanical advantage of a lever of the second order

    In the case of levers of the second order, the load arm is always smaller than the effort arm,

    i.e., effort arm > load arm. Therefore, a big load can be shifted by using a small effort with

    the help of a lever of the second order.As the load arm is smaller than the effort arm,

    Lever of the third order

    When the fulcrum and load are situated at the opposite ends of the lever, and an effort is

    applied somewhere between them, we call it a lever of the third order. For example, pair of

    tongs, fishing rod, etc.

    Fishing Rod

    Tongs

    Mechanical advantage of a lever of the third order

    In case of levers of the third order, the effort arm is always smaller than the load arm, i.e.,load arm > effort arm. As the load arm is larger than the effort arm,

    Although we do not obtain mechanical advantage from a lever of the third order, we use it

    for several reasons.

    We use levers of the third order where other two kinds of levers cannot be used. In the case of levers of the third order, we always obtain a bigger displacement of

    load by a minimum displacement of the applied force. This is why we use a lever ofthe third order in a fishing rod.

    EXAMPLES IN HUMAN BODY

    Class 1 lever nod your head

    The pivot is the place where your skull meets the top of your spine. Your skull is the lever armand the neck muscles at the back of the skull provide the force (effort) to lift your head upagainst the weight of the head (load). When the neck muscles relax, your head nods forward.

    For this lever, the pivot lies between the effort and load. A see saw in a playground is another

    example of a Class 1 lever where the effort balances the load.

    Class 2 lever stand on tip toes

    The pivot is at your toe joints and your foot acts as a lever arm. Your calf muscles and Achillestendon provide the effort when the calfmuscle contracts. The load is your body weight and is

    lifted by the effort (muscle contraction).

    The load is between the pivot and the effort (like a wheelbarrow). The effort force needed is less

    than the load force, so there is a mechanical advantage. This muscular movement at the back ofyour legs allows you to move your whole body a small distance.

    Class 3 lever bend your arm

    The pivot is at the elbow and the forearm acts as the lever arm. The biceps muscle provides theeffort (force) and bends the forearm against the weight of the forearm and any weight that the

    hand might be holding.

    The load is further away from the pivot than the effort. There is no mechanical advantagebecause the effort is greater than the load. However this disadvantage is compensated with a

    larger movementa small contraction of the biceps produces a large movement of the forearm.

    This type of lever system also gives us the advantage of a much greater speed of movement.

    Many muscle and bone combinations in our bodies are of the Class 3 lever type.

    INCLINED PLANE

    An inclined plane is a sloping surface that behaves like a simple machine whose

    mechanical advantage is always greater than 1.

    If the inclined plane is frictionless, then in equilibrium,

    Lcos = R and Lsin = E

    GEARS

    A gear is a wheel with teeth around its rim.

    The of a pair of gears is defined as the ratio of the number of rotations per

    unit time of the driving (or input) gear to the no. of rotations per unit time of the driven (or

    output) gear .

    V.R. =

    Thus, number of teeth, radii and speed of rotation are related as

    The ratio of the number of teeth in the driving wheel to the number of wheel in the driven

    wheel is called the .

    Gear Ratio=

    A gear system is used both for gain in speed as for the gain in turning effect or torque.

    PULLEYS

    Generally, a single pulley or a combination of pulleys fixed in a frame, is called a block, while a

    string that winds around the pulleys in different blocks is known as tackle.

    When the axis of rotation of a pulley is kept fixed, it is called a fixed pulley and if the axis of

    rotation is not fixed, it is called a movable pulley.

    REFRACTION OF LIGHT

    SECTION I

    When a light beam strikes the boundary between two transparent media(having different

    optical densities), a certain part of it is reflected but a much greater part of it passes

    through to the second media with a sudden change in direction. This phenomenon is called

    refraction.

    The bending of the ray of light passing from one medium to the other medium is called

    refraction.

    When light travels from rarer medium to denser medium, the ray bends towards the

    normal and when it travels from denser medium to rarer medium, the ray bends away from

    the normal.

    The refraction of light occurs because light travels with different speeds in different media.

    When a ray of light passes from one medium to another, its direction(except for

    (i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal to the refracting surface at the

    point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

    (ii) The ratio of the sines of the angle of incidence (i) and of the angle of refraction (r) is

    i.e. a constant quantity for two given media, and the color of light used (frequency

    of the light wave) which is called the refractive index of the second medium with

    respect to the first.

    to be 1 only.

    refracted waves are mutually perpendicular, the refractive index of material is

    Refraction Through a Glass Slab

    (1)

    The refracting surfaces of a glass slab are parallel to each other. When a light ray passesthrough a glass slab it is refracted twice at the two parallel faces and finally

    emerges out parallel to it's incident direction i.e. the ray undergoes no

    deviation = 0. The angle of emergence (e) is equal to the angle of

    incidence (i)

    The Lateral shift of the ray is the perpendicular distance between the

    incident and the emergent ray, and it is given by

    Normal shift txOO

    Or the object appears to be shifted towards the slab by the distance x

    TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION

    When light travels from denser medium to rarer medium the angle of incidence for which

    the angle of refraction is that angle is called the critical angle. When the angle of

    incidence is more than the critical angle then the light is fully reflected back in the first

    (denser) medium. This is called Total internal reflection.

    Generally, critical angle of a medium is quoted for light going from the medium to the air. In

    this case and writing , we get

    (i is an optical illusion, which occurs usually in deserts on hot summer days. On

    such a day, temperature of air near the earth is maximum and hence is rarer or lighter. The

    upper layers of air, which are relatively cool, are denser. A ray of light from the top of a tree

    travels from denser to rarer and bend away from the normal. At a particular layer, if the

    angle of incidence is greater than 'C', total internal reflection occurs. To far away observer,

    this ray i.e., AE appears to be coming from I i.e., mirror image of O. Thus inverted image of

    tree creates an optical illusion of reflection from a pond of water.

    (ii) Due to repeated internal reflections diamond sparkles.

    (iii) Optical fibres consist of many long high quality composite glass/quartz

    fibres. Each fibre consists of a core and cladding. The refractive index of the material of the core

    (1) is higher than that of the cladding (2).

    When the light is incident on one end of the fibre at a small angle, the light passes inside,

    undergoes repeated total internal reflections along the fibre and finally comes out. The angle ofincidence is always larger than the critical angle of the core material with respect to its cladding.

    Even if the fibre is bent, the light can easily travel through

    along the fibre

    A bundle of optical fibres can be used as a 'light pipe' in

    medical and optical examination. It can also be used for optical

    signal transmission. Optical fibres have also been used for

    transmitting and receiving electrical signals which are

    converted to light by suitable transducers.

    used to deviate light rays through o90 and o180 and also to erect the image.

    Real Image Virtual Image

    1. A real image is formed due to actual

    intersection of reflected or refracted

    rays.

    2. A real image can be obtained on a

    screen.

    3. A real image is inverted with respect to

    an object.

    Example-The image of a distant object

    formed by a convex lens.

    1. A virtual image is formed when the

    refracted or reflected rays meet if they

    are produced backwards.

    2. A virtual image cannot be obtained on a

    screen.

    3. A virtual image is erect with respect to

    the object.

    Example-The image of an object formed by a

    concave lens.

    The splitting of white light into its constituent colours is called dispersion of light.

    Newton had shown that light rays that we obtain from the sun consist of seven different

    colours red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When rays of the sun are made

    to pass through a glass prism, we will see the seven different colours.

    The rainbow : A rainbow is seen when the sun appears in the sky after the rains. The moisture in theatmosphere behaves like tiny prisms, dispersing the suns rays into seven colours (Vibgyor). The redcolour appears on the top of the rainbow and the violet colour appears at the bottom.

    It can be achieved by placing an inverted prism in front of the first prism.

    The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of all electromagnetic waves

    arranged according to frequency and wavelength. The sun, earth, and other

    bodies radiate electromagnetic energy of varying wavelengths.
