15. How a block & tackle work: 5 parts (1 of 5) 1.The forces in ropes and strings  Ropes & strings carry tension forces (pulling forces) along their length. Ropes and strings do not carry pushing forces.

16. How a block & tackle work: 5 parts (1 of 5) 2.Every part of a rope has the same tension If FRICTION is very small, then the force in a rope is the same throughout the rope. Can place a scale anywhere on the rope and get same result throughout.

17. How a block & tackle work: 5 parts (1 of 5) 3.The forces in a block and tackle Refer to Figure 4.6 page 70  10N weight at the bottom is called a load.  Case A – two upward forces  Case B – three upward forces  Case C – four upward forces

18. How a block & tackle work: 5 parts (1 of 5) 4.Mechanical advantage  Case C demonstrates that four ropes gives an MA of 4 which means that the output force is four times bigger than the input force.

19. How a block & tackle work: 5 parts (1 of 5) 5.Multiplying force with the block and tackle Figure 4.6 page 70  If the output is four times more than the input force, the input force can be ¼ of the output force.  Example: 20N of output force means input force can be a minimum of 5N.

21. Quiz page 70  Can the output force be lower then the input force? Why or why not?  A block and tackle has three ropes with 18N of output force. What is the minimum of input force needed?  Why is tension of a rope only pulling action and not a pushing action?

22. Section 4.2: The Lever pages 71-72  What is a lever?: page 71 – Four parts  The mechanical advantage of a lever: page 72 – Four parts

23. What is a lever? Four parts (2 of 4) 1.Levers are used everywhere 2.Your muscles and skeleton use levers  Levers still form the operating principle behind many common machines. Your bones and muscles work as levers to perform everything from chewing to throwing a ball.

24. Terms to remember:  Output arm/output force are normally called resistance load or resistance force.  Input arm/input force are normally called effort force.

26. What is a lever? Four parts (1 of 4) page 71 3.Parts of a lever a. Definition b.Input arm c. Output arm d. Changing position of fulcrum 3a. A stiff structure (the lever) that rotates around a fixed point called a FULCRUM. 3b.Input arm is the side of lever where the force is applied to the machine. 3c.Output arm is the side of lever where the force is applied by the machine to accomplish a task. 3d.Changing the position of the fulcrum will make a different class of lever.

27. What is a lever? Four parts (1 of 4) page 71 4.How it works Refer to Figure 4.7 on page 71  If the fulcrum is placed in the middle of the lever, the input and output forces are the same i.e. 100 N of input force makes 100 N of output force.

28. Mechanical advantage of a lever: 4 parts (1of 4) pg. 72 1.Input and output forces for a lever.  Input force is the force applied to the lever in the area of the input arm.  Output force is the force the machines applies in the area of the output arm.

29. Mechanical advantage of a lever: 4 parts (1of 4) pg. 72 2.The mechanical advantage of a lever Refer to page 72 Figure 4.8  Another way to say this is that the mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of lengths between the input arm and the output arm.

30. Mechanical advantage of a lever: 4 parts (1of 4) pg. 72 3. The output force can be less than the input force  The input arm is shorter than the output arm.  You might design a lever this way if you needed the motion on the output side to be larger than the motion on the input side.
