6 Types of simple machine
Screw
Have rotating features and motions down the length
Examples: G-Clamps, Cock screw
Wheel and Axel
Wheel needs to be connected to the axel, which will rotate together to produce force.
Examples: Wheels and tyres of the vehicles, Door hinges, Trolleys, Merry go round
Inclined plane
Tilted surface, which can help to carry heavy loads up easily
Examples: Ramps, escalators, Stairs, Slides
Pulley
Help pulling and carrying heavy loads up easily, instead of using human strength
Examples, Lift, pole
Wedges
Have thin edges as it is almost a triangle shaped that can squeeze into tight places. It can also be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place and so on
Fork, Knife, Saw, Needle, Hammer
Lever
A lever is a rigid body that is used with a pivot to multiply the effects of an applied force when doing work against a load force.
3 Types of lever
1st Class Lever
Fulcrum between load and effort
Example: Scissors, See Saw, Pliers, Cutter
2nd Class lever
Load between fulcrum and effort
Example: Bottle opener, Wheel barrrow
3rd Class lever
Effort between fulcrum and load
Example : Thongs, Mop, Broom
Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device trades off input forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force.
Example: Law of lever
Formula: Output force/Input force
Formula :Sum of anticlockwise moments = Sum of clockwise moments
F1 ✕ D1 = F2 ✕ D2
Have to make up and down equal
