Machines
Simple Machines Work out is less than or equal to Work in. Force out can be greater than Force in.
Mechanical Advantage MA = F in F out
Efficiency Eff = 100 x W out W in
Ideal Machines W in = W out F in d in = F out d out
Simple Machines There are three types of simple machines we will discuss in this class: Pulley Inclined Plane Lever
Pulley
Pulley Ideal MA
Inclined Plane An inclined plane is a ramp.
Work out for inclined plane W out = F out x Height Height
Work in for an inclined plane Length W in = F in x Length
Lever Fulcrum
Work in for lever Distance W in = F in x d in
Work out for lever Distance W out = F out x d out
