Chapter 10 Simple Machines
OBJECTIVES
Define a machine
Examine energy transfer in machine to determine Mechanical Advantage and Energy Efficiency
KEY WORDS: Simple and complex machines, Effort and resistance forces, Mechanical Advantage,
Energy efficiency; Law of Simple machines and Conservation of Work or Energy; Compound machine;
Ideal mechanical advantage vs. actual mechanical advantage.
MACHINES AND ENERGY TRANSFER
A machine is an object, device, or system that is used to transfer energy from one place to another and
allows work to be done that may not be able to be done otherwise.
A simple machine is a device with few moving parts that allow the user to convert an applied force to
some type of useful work.
There are six types of simple machines: (we will also examine gear)
Lever
Wheel and axle
Pulley
Ramp (or Inclined plane)
Screw
Wedge
Simple machines allow us to:
Multiply force: wrench, hammer
Multiply speed: gears
Change direction: pulley, gear
A complex machine is just some type of combination of simple machines. A car, for example, is an
example of a complex machine. Our human body can be considered a complex machine!
There are two forces to concern ourselves with when it comes to machines: effort and resistance.
The effort force is the force that is applied to the machine.
The resistance force is the force that the machine must overcome to do work.
Example β A person applies 20 lb of force to a jack. This is the effort force. The jack produces 600 lb of
force to lift the object. This is the resistance force.

The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is defined as the ratio of the resistance force to the
effort force.
EXAMPLE 1: Find the MA of a jack that requires 20 lb of applied force to lift a 600 lb object
GIVEN FIND FORMULA
Resistance force = 600 lb
Effort force = 20 lb
MA =?
π΄π¨ =ππ
π
MA =resistance force
effort force
MA =600 lb
20 lb =
πππ
The mechanical advantage of the jack is 30 to 1, which
means the jack can lift 30 lb for every lb of force
applied to the jack.
Due to outside forces, such as friction, energy can be lost and output can be lessened.
π΄π¨ =ππππππππππ πππππ
ππππππ πππππ
MA = the mechanical advantage of the machine
MA is unit-less because it is a ratio.
The higher the mechanical advantage, the greater the output of the
machine.
% ππππππππππ =ππππ ππππππ
ππππ πππππΓ πππ%
The more output you are able to achieve, the more efficient the machine
The more friction acting on the system, the less efficient the machine will be

THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY (or WORK) LAW OF SIMPLE MACHINES
When a machine increases force or speed, there is always a price to be paid because work must be
conserved. Hence, it remains constant throughout the system. Recalling W = F*s, so even when we gain a
mechanical advantage using a simple machine, the total amount of work done remains the same (is
conserved).
The law of simple machines states that work must be conserved and remain constant throughout the
system.
THE LEVER
The lever is a simple machine used to multiply force.
The lever consists of a bar that turns on a pivot, known as the fulcrum. resistance force
effort force
effort arm fulcrum resistance arm
The effort arm is the distance from the effort force to the fulcrum.
The resistance arm is the distance from the resistance force to the fulcrum
Due to conservation of work, the following can be said about levers:
ππΉ β ππΉ = ππ¬ β ππ¬
FR = resistance force
sR = length of resistance arm
FE = effort force
sE = length of effort arm

The mechanical advantage of a lever can be found by using the resistance and effort arms by the
following formula:
Before we can put this into action we must classify the different types of levers we use:
First Class
A seesaw, your neck, and a jack are examples of this type of lever.
Second Class
A wheel barrel and the ball of your foot are examples of this type of lever.

Third Class
A hockey stick, fishing pole, and your forearm are examples of this type of lever.
EXAMPLE 1: A wheel barrel is 1.20 m long and has a 900 N load 40.0 cm from the axle.
A) What force is needed to lift the wheel barrel? B) What is the MA?

EXAMPLE 2: Two children are sitting on a see-saw. One child weighs 75 lb and is seated 3 feet from
the fulcrum. The other child weighs 60 lb. How far from the fulcrum must the second child sit so that the
see-saw remains balanced?
GIVEN FIND FORMULA
FR = 75 lb
SR = 3 ft
FE = 60 lb
First Class Lever. Why?

The second child must sit 3.75 ft
away from the fulcrum for the
see-saw to remain balanced.
300 N of force is required
to lift the wheel barrel.
The mechanical advantage
is 3 to 1, which indicates
that the barrel can produce
a resistance force three
times that of the effort force

RAMP OR INCLINED PLANE
EXAMPLE: (Example 2 on textbook p. 281)
Find the length of the shortest ramp that can be used to push a 600-lb resistance onto a platform 3.5-ft
high by exerting a force of 72.0 lb.
Given Find Formula
FR = 600 lb length = ? FR*height = FE*length
FE = 72 lb Rearrange for length:
height = 3.5 ft length = (FR*height)/FE
length =
(600 lb)(3.5ft)
72.0 lb
= 29.2 ft
THE SCREW
A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
The jackscrew, wood screw, and auger are examples.
The rise distance a beam rises or the distance the wood screw advances into a piece of wood in
one revolution is called the pitch or the lead of the screw.
From the law of machines, FR*sR = FE*sE
o For advancing a screw with a screwdriver,
sR = pitch or lead of screw
sE circumference of the handle of the screwdriver
Law of Machines:
FR*sR = FE*sE
FR*height of ramp = FE*length of ramp

EXAMPLE: (Example 3 on textbook p. 285)
A 19,400-N weight is raised using a jackscrew having a pitch of 5.00 mm and a handle length of 255 mm.
What force must be applied?
Given Find Formula
pitch = 5.00 mm FE = ? FR*pitch = FE*2Οr
r = 255 mm Rearrange for FE:
FR = 19,400 N FE =
FRβpitch

FE =
(19,400 π)(5.00 ππ)
2Ο(255 mm)
= 60.5 N
THE WEDGE
A wedge is an inclined plane in which the plane is moved
instead of the resistance.
Finding the mechanical advantage of a wedge is not practical
because of the large amount of friction.
A narrow wedge is easier to drive than a thick wedge.
Therefore, the mechanical advantage depends on the ratio of its
length to its thickness.

THE GEAR
Compound Machines
A compound machine is a combination of simple machines.
In most compound machines, the total mechanical advantage is the product of the mechanical
advantage of each simple machines.
EXAMPLE: (Example on textbook p. 287)
A crate weighing 9500 N is pulled up the inclined plane using the pulley system shown in Fig. 10.23.
(a) Find the mechanical advantage of the total system.
(b) What effort force (FE) is needed?
Given Find Formula
(a) length = 10.5 m MA inclined plane = ? MA inclined plane = length of plane
height of plane =
10.5 m
1.50 m = 7.00
height = 1.50 m MA total system =?
MA pulley = 5 MA total system = (MA inclined plane)(MA pulley)
(the number of supporting
strands) = (7.00)(5) = 35.0
(b)MA compound machine = 35.0 FE = ? MA compound machine = πΉπ
πΉπΈ
Rearrange for FE
FR = 9500 N FE = FR/MA compound machine =9,500 N
35.0 = 271 N
MA compound machines = (MA1)(MA2)(MA3) β¦..

The Effect of Friction on Simple Machines
So far the law of simple machines has been stated in terms of ideal mechanical advantage
(IMA), in which we have 100% efficiency.
In reality, energy is lost in every machine through heat to overcome friction.
This lost energy decreases the efficiency of the machine; output work is always less than input
work.
This lost energy is heat energy, which results in machine wear or even burning out of certain parts
of the machine.
In general, the actual mechanical advantage is found by:
EXAMPLE: In Example 1 of Section 10.5, the inclined plane has an IMA of 4 to 1. Actually, it takes
545 N of effort to move the 1500-N box up the ramp. Therefore, the AMA is
AMA = πΉπ
