Simple machine

and their
characyeristics
Here starts the
lesson!
 Backgground information for
learners (BIL)
A machine is a device that is used to make
work easier. Some machines with few parts are
called Simple Machines. The different kinds of
simple machines are:Lever,Inclined
plane,Wedge,ScrewWheel and axle and pulley.
A Machine 2.Effort: (E)
Is a simple machine that can be -A force that lifts the ressistance
used to lift objects easily. It is a
grid bar arranged to move around a
fix point called fulcrum. 3. Fulcrum:(F)
The Part of the -The fixed movable point where
lever are: the rigid bar moves.

1.Resistance :(R) or load a 4. Resistant arm (dr):

force that is being lifted by the -the distance of the resistance to
effort. the fulcrum.
5. Effort Arm (de)
-the distance of effort to the
fulcrum. There are three classes of
levers which vary in the placement
of the effort to the curriculum.
There are three classes of levers
which vary in the placement of the
effort,resistance, or load and the
fulcrumalong the bar.
First-class lever(RFE)
or EFR
-the fulcrum is between and effort
and the load or resistance as in
seasaw and scissors.
second-class lever(RFE)
or EFR
-the fulcrum lies at one end, effort
is applied at the other end, and load
is in the middle as in the wheel
barrow and cap opener.
Third-class lever(RFE) or
EFR
The fulcrum is at one end,but the
load is at the other end, and the
effort is apllied in the middle as in
hammer and shovel
An Inclaned plane is a simple machine that has a sloping
surface. It can help you move heavy loads to higher level
with lesser effort.
A wedge is two inclined planes joined togeteher.
A screw is a form of inclined plane that is wrapped around a
central shaft.
The wheel and axle is made up of a wheel fixed to a rod
(axle).
A pulley is a wheel that rotates freely. A rope is wound
around the grove of the wheel. It can help you lift things.
