What are two simple machines that Jenna and her crew could use to move a piano from the stage in the concert hall onto a high outdoor stage? Explain how each machine would help make moving the piano easier. Chapter 8 CRCT Preparation

23. < BackNext >PreviewMain 11. Answer – An inclined plane and a block and tackle could be used. The inclined plane would reduce the input force needed for moving the piano into a truck or onto a stage, making it easier to move the piano. However, the piano would have to be pushed a longer distance than the height of the stage or truck. The block and tackle would multiply the input force by 4 (or more), making it possible to lift the piano with less effort. However, the rope would have to be pulled four times farther than the height of the stage or truck bed. Chapter 8 CRCT Preparation
