Simple Machines The six types of simple machines are:

Levers. Definition A simple machine A board or bar that rests on a turning point called the fulcrum Used to change the amount, the strength and the direction.

The number of times a machine multiplies your effort force.

The output of one device acts as the input of the next.

Levers and Mechanical Advantage

Levers Lever is a simple machine that allows you to gain a mechanical advantage in moving an object or in applying a force to an object.

Seesaw Scales Understanding levers.

Work is the transfer of energy to an object by using a force that causes the object to move in the direction of the force. * Work is measured is Joules.

A lever is a machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge or fulcrum. A lever amplifies an input force to provide a greater.

Lever A Lever is a beam, free to pivot around a point used to move a load.

1st Class Lever A lever in which fulcrum is between the load and effort.

2nd Class Lever A lever in which the load is between the fulcrum and effort.

3rd Class Lever A lever in which the effort is between the fulcrum and load.

Compound Lever A compound lever consists of one lever operating another.

Compound Lever A compound lever consists of one lever operating another. Using theCompound Levers Worksheet they should identify each of the nail clipper’s levers and find the effort, fulcrum and load for each one. Then ask each group to select one compound lever; make a sketch of it showing each of the simple levers; and label the effort, fulcrum and load on each one. Based on this drawing, they should be able to tell the class of each lever. Then ask them to represent the compound lever in their sorting categories.

More compound levers http://www.citytechnology.org/stuff-that-works/levers-have-a-lot-of-class

The nail clipper is an example of a compound lever The nail clipper is an example of a compound lever. The image below shows the two levers that make it up: the handle and the upper jaw. Notice that the load of the handle is also the effort of the jaw; in other words, the handle is in series with the jaw. From the drawing, it should also be clear that the handle is second-class, while the jaw is third-class.

a pizza-tray holder (same as vise grips) Some other compound levers are shown to the left. Clockwise starting at the top, these include:a pair of vise grips (1st class lever as input to 1st class lever) a pizza-tray holder (same as vise grips) a grapefruit sectioner (1st class lever as input to 3rd class lever) a tea-bag strainer (reverse of grapefruit sectioner) a pair of garden shears (2nd class lever as input to 1st class lever) a pair of tin snips (see Extreme Scissors for an extended discussion)

An interesting issue is how to represent these compound levers in sorting according to first, second- or third-class. One solution is to use a Venn diagram.
