TRANSCRIPT
All mechanisms have some things in common:
They involve some kind of motion.
They involve some kind of force.
They make a job easier to do.
They need some kind of input to make them work.
They produce some kind of output
The Mechanisms
It´s probably the first machine to be used by humans. It´s a simple machine, because you only need a stick (bar, rigid beam)
The Levers
The Lever is a bar with 3 components:
LOAD FULCRUM EFFORT
The Levers
There are three types of levers. See what element is in the middle: effort, fulcrum or load.
• Class 1. The fulcrum is in the middle
•Class 2. The load is in the middle
•Class 3. The effort is in the middle
The Levers. Types of levers
Archimedes’ Law of the Lever
The Levers. Law of the Lever
W1 is the value of effort.
d1 is the distance between effort and fulcrum.
W2 is the value of load.
d2 is the distance between load and fulcrum.
Law of the Lever
Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC)
“Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the earth.”
The Levers
The Pulley
The Pulley
There are 2 kinds of pulley:
No mechanical advantage:
single pulley
With mechanical advantage:
system pulley
The Single Pulley
EffortLoad
pulley
rope
To make the job of lifting large weights easier.
You can’t lift more weight than your own weight. (Limit, Maximun)
The System Pulley
To make the job of lifting large weights easier.
The effort is less than the charge: this is the mechanical advantage.
Advantage 2:1
Advantage 4:1
The basic kinds of motion.
Rotary, going round and round
Oscillating, swinging backwards and forwards
The basic kinds of motion.
Linear, in a straight line
The basic kinds of motion.
Reciprocating, backwards and forwards, in a straight line
