Mechanical Mechanical AdvantageAdvantage
Mechanical Advantage – a quantity that measures how much a machine multiplies force or distance.
Mechanical Mechanical AdvantageAdvantage
The mechanical advantage tells you how much the force will increase by using a particular machine. The more times a machine multiplies the input or effort force, the better the machine is.
Mechanical Mechanical AdvantageAdvantage
When the mechanical advantage is greater than 1, the machine increases or multiplies the force you apply.
Mechanical Mechanical AdvantageAdvantage
Machines do not increase the work you put into them.
The work that goes into a machine can never be greater than the work that comes out of the machine.
Mechanical Mechanical Advantage EquationAdvantage Equation
mechanical advantage = output force = input distance input force output distance
M.A. = Fo = di
Fi do
mechanical advantage = resistance force = effort distance effort force resistance distance
M.A. = FR = dE
FE dR
The resistance force can be just the weight of the object you are trying to move. (Weight is a force of gravity.)
Mechanical advantage has no units.

M.A. Problem 1M.A. Problem 1What is the mechanical advantage of a crowbar that allows you to put 25 newtons of force into lifting a 250 newton crate?
M.A. = Fo Fi
M.A. = 250 N = 10 25 N
M.A. = FR FE
M.A. = 250 N = 10 25 N
How many times does the crowbar multiply the force that wasput into it? (Hint: Look at the answer.)

M.A. Problem 2M.A. Problem 2What is the mechanical advantage of ramp that is 10 m long and 3 m high?
M.A. = di do
M.A. = 10 m = 3.3 3 m
M.A. = dE dR
M.A. = 10 m = 3.3 3 m
M.A. Problem 3M.A. Problem 3A pulley system has a mechanical advantage of 10. a. If a mover uses this pulley to lift a piano with a weigh of 1450 N a distance of 4 m, how much force must the mover use?b. How far will the mover pull the rope?
M.A. Problem 3M.A. Problem 3
a. M.A. = Fo Fi
10 = 1450 N Fi
Fi = 1450 N 10
Fi = 145 N
A pulley system has a mechanical advantage of 10. a. If a mover uses this pulley to lift a piano with a weigh of 1450 N a distance of 4 m, how much force must the mover use?b. How far will the mover pull the rope?
b. M.A. = di do
10 = di 4 m
(10)(4m) = di
di = 40 m

Are any actual actual machinesmachines
100% efficient?
Are any actual machines 100% efficient?
There are no machines that are 100% efficient. Every machine deals with friction…some more than others. Friction is a force that opposes motion.
Ideal MachinesIdeal Machines
Ideal Machines are 100% efficient.
Ideal Machines do not exist.
What form of energy does friction produce?
What form of energy does friction produce?
heat
Why? Friction opposes motion.
EfficiencyEfficiencyThe efficiency of a machine is defined as the
ratio of the output work to the input work.
efficiency = work output x 100% work input
eff = Wo x 100% Wi
EfficiencyEfficiencyIn an ideal machine…
- work output equals work input. - the efficiency is 100%.
In real machines… - the efficiency is less than 100%. - work output is less than work input. - loss due to friction and heat.
