• Simple Machines can be:– Force Multiplier: Increases the force applied to
the work at hand– Distance Multiplier: Increases the distance the
load moves
FORCE/DISTANCE MULTIPLIERS

1. Use the following information to determine the force required to lift the load using a 1st class lever.
FORCE/DISTANCE MULTIPLIERS
100 lbs.
5 ft. 20 ft.
F = ?
L = 100 lbs.
DF = 20 ft.
DL = 5 ft.
F = ????
U3d-L5
1. Write your equation
2. Substitute values
3. Solve for unknown
FORCE/DISTANCE MULTIPLIERS
100 lbs.
5 ft. 20 ft.
F = ?
L x DL = F x DF
100 lbs x 5 ft = F x 20 ft
500 ft-lbs = F x 20 ft
20 ft 20 ft
F = 25 lbs.

2. Use the following information to determine the force required to lift the load using a 1st class lever.
FORCE/DISTANCE MULTIPLIERS
200 lbs.
10 ft. 20 ft.
F = ?
L = 200 lbs.
DF = 20 ft.
DL = 10 ft.
F = ????
20 ft.

4. Use the following information to determine the force required to lift the load using a 2nd class lever.
FORCE/DISTANCE MULTIPLIERS
100 lbs.
F = ?
L = 100 lbs.
DF = 10 ft.
DL = 5 ft.
F = ????
25 ft.
15 ft.

5. Use the following information to determine the force required to lift the load using a 2nd class lever.
FORCE/DISTANCE MULTIPLIERS
200 lbs.
F = ?
L = 200 lbs.
DF = 25 ft.
DL = 15 ft.
F = ????
