Force multiplier means
by lifting a heavy body by applying less amount of effort
rear wheel of cycle is an example of ______.
changing the point of application of effort to a convenient point .
lifting bucket from the well is an example of
changing direction of effort to a convenient direction
machines also work as obtaining ______ in speed
gain , greater movement of load by less movement effort
gain in speed formula -
gain in speed = 1/ velocity ratio
define machine -
machine is a device by which we can overcome a large resistive force by applying less effort at convenient point and desired direction or by which we can obtain gain in speed
Load means
a resistive or opposing force to be overcome by a machine
effort means
force applied on a machine to overcome a load
mechanical advantage -
ratio of load and effort
mechanical advantage - formula
load / effort
when the mechanical advantage be less than 1
when the effort is greater than load
when mechanical advantage is greater than 1
when effort is less than load
when the M.A is 1
when effort = load
if mechanical advantage is more than 1 the machine acts as
force multiplier
if a machine as M.A less than 1
it acts as gain in speed
if m.a = 1
it generally acts to change the direction of effort
machine can’t be used as force multiplier as well as speed multiplier [simultaneously ] why?
in force multiplier - effort < load , in speed multiplier - effort > load
velocity ratio means
ratio of velocity of effort/ load
velocity ratio [as displacement ]
ratio of displacement of E/ displacement of L
when is velocity ratio be less than 1
displacement of load is more than displacement of effort
when velocity ratio is less than 1 it called as
gain in speed
when is velocity ratio is more than 1
when displacement of load is less than displacement of effort
when velocity ratio is more than 1 machine acts as
force multiplier
velocity ratio = 1 if ?
displacement of load = displacement of effort ,
