How do machines make work easier?
Simple Machines get the same work done by reducing the size of the force needed by increasing the distance.

How do machines help you do work?
Machine-any device that helps people do work. • Examples
Technology-the use of knowledge to
create products or tools that make life easier. • Humans have been improving their lives for
thousands of years with technology.
• The simplest machine is an example of technology.

How do machines help you do work?
Machines make work easier by • (1) changing the size of the force needed
or by
• (2) changing the direction in which the force is exerted
1 pulley W=Fd More distance so less force Much easier than lifting
4 pulleys W=Fd More distance so less force Very little force need

Inclined Plane The Egyptians used simple machines to build the
pyramids. One method was to build a very long incline out of dirt that rose upward to the top of the pyramid. Then blocks of stone were placed on large logs (another type of simple machine - the wheel and axle) and pushed slowly up the long inclined plane to the top of the pyramid.

Inclined Planes
Inclined plane - a simple machine that is a sloping surface.
W=Fd
Makes work easier by increasing the distance
The lower the slope of a ramp the less force needed to lift the object.

Screw
•The screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder or cone to form a spiral. •It is used to raise and lower weights and hold objects together. •Examples are drills, jar lids, nuts and bolts. •The spiraling inclined plane that sticks out from the body of the screw forms the threads of the screw. •The threads increase the distance, which decreases the force needed to turn the screw.

Wedges Two inclined planes joined back to back
Wedges are used to split or hold objects together
Examples: axe blade, knife, chisel, door jam
The thinner the wedge, the less force is needed to press it into something (knife)
Small surface area means greater pressure • Thinner blades have
greater pressure

Lever A lever is a solid bar that rotates, or turns,
around a fixed point.
The fixed point is called a fulcrum.
A lever can multiply the input force and change the direction of the force.
The way in which a lever changes an input force depends on the position of the fulcrum.

First Class Lever
• Common examples of first-class levers include crowbars, scissors, pliers, tin snips and seesaws.

Second Class Lever
Examples of second-class levers include nut crackers, wheel barrows, doors, and bottle openers.

Third Class Lever
Examples of third-class levers include tweezers, arm hammers, and shovels.

Wheel & Axle
The wheel and axle act like a rotating collection of levers.
The axle is like a fulcrum.
When the axle turns the wheel, there is greater distance and therefore less force that needs to be applied from the axle.

Wheel & Axel
The axle is stuck rigidly to a large wheel.
Fan blades are attached to the wheel. When the axel turns, the fan blades spin.

Pulleys
Pulleys are wheels and axles with a groove around the outside
The single pulley makes work easier by changing the direction of the force
A pulley needs a rope, chain, or belt around the groove to make it do work

Mechanical Advantage
Mechanical advantage (MA) measures the ratio of how much the machine changes the force.
MA=Output force/Input force
Input force – the applied force Output force – the resulting force

Work Input and Output
When work is done energy is transferred • A machine
increases the potential or kinetic energy of an object by doing work on it.
If distance
increases the force decreases. W=Fd

Efficiency Work input is the amount of work done on a
machine. • Input force x Input distance
Work output is the amount of work done by a machine. • Output force x Output distance
Output work is always less than input work.
• Friction
Efficiency is the ratio of a machine’s output work to the input work.
Efficiency (%) = Output work/Input work x 100
No real machine is 100% efficient because machines lose energy to friction, which is why we lubricate moving parts and used streamlined designs.

Compound Machines
A machine that is made of two or more simple machines is called a compound machine.
Gears are an example of a compound machine (2 wheel & axles).
The mechanical advantage of a compound machine is the product of their mechanical advantages.
Example: the mechanical advantage of a pair of scissors is the product of its 2 levers and 2 wedges.

GEARS-Wheel and Axel
Each gear in a series reverses the direction of rotation of the previous gear. The smaller gear will always turn faster than the larger gear.

Combined Pulley
A multiple pulley system makes work easier by changing the distance over which work is done and therefore decreases the force required.
The main disadvantage is it travels a very long distance.

Rube Goldberg Machines
Rube Goldberg machines are examples of complex machines.
All complex machines are made up of combinations of simple machines.
Rube Goldberg machines are usually a complicated combination of simple machines.
By studying the components of Rube Goldberg machines, we learn more about simple machines

When you slip on ice, your foot kicks a paddle (A), lowering finger (B), snapping turtle (C) extends neck
to bite finger, opening ice tongs (D) and dropping pillow (E), thus allowing you to fall on something soft.
