4 FUNCTIONS of MACHINES Balance 2 or more Forces Force advantage Linear ROM and/or Speed Change direction of F motive
3 Components of Levers Axis or fulcrum Motive Force Resistive Force
PROPERTIES OF A FORCE Magnitude Direction Point of Application Line of Action
No Torque Net Torque Imbalance of Tm & Tr resultant motion in the direction of the greatest Torque No FA example Fig 4.3d T motive = T resistive
FA resistive action line of gravity acting through lower arm’s c of g to axis of rotation (elbow joint) FA motive action line of muscle pulling on bone to axis of rotation (elbow joint)
Figure 4.4 on page 149 4.4a Tmotive = Tresistive result is no motion 4.4b Tmotive > Tresistive resultant motion is ccw 4.4c Tmotive < Tresistive resultant motion is cw
Figure 4.6 - Question 2 page 151 if A = 100 weight units d must = 1.0 distance units if A = 40 weight units d must = 2.5 distance units
Resultant Torque Vector Resultant Arrow represents Magnitude & Direction Resultant comprised of 2 components: 1. Ro = vertical/perpendicular component 2. Stabl or Disl = horizontal/parallel component
Position 1 more Stabl than Ro Position 2 100% Ro Position 3 more Disl than Ro Figure 4.8 on page 154
Figure 4.10 on page 156 F1 = Stabl (pulls toward axis/joint) FA for F1 = d from axis to F1 F2 = 100% Ro (no horz component) FA for F2 = d from axis to F2 F3 = Disl (pulls away from axis/joint) FA for F3 = d from axis to F3

Mechanical Disadvantage Advantage FAMOTIVE < FA RESISTIVE LARGER FMOTIVE required to overcome SMALLER FRESISTIVE 3rd class levers FAMOTIVE > FARESISTIVE SMALLER FMOTIVE required to overcome LARGER FRESISTIVE 1st and 2nd class levers
1st Class Lever Axis/Fulcrum between MF and RF rare in human body serves all 4 functions of machines
2nd Class Lever Axis at one end, Fmotive further away than Fresisitive FAmotive > FAresisitive only serves 1 function of machines
3rd Class Lever Axis at one end, Fresisitive further away than Fmotive FAmotive < FAresisitive only serves 1 function of machines
Wheel and Axle A machine that gives either a Force advantage OR a ROM advantage F advantage = Fmotive applied to wheel ROM advantage = Fmotive applied to axel in humans most common = ROM advantage
