5 1. What is a lever? 2. How many classes of levers are there?

6 Introduction to Levers

7 A Lever is one of the most commonly used simple machines. A lever is a rigid bar that is used to transfer force. With a pivot /fulcrum, the lever can be used to change force that is applied (effort) by changing the position of the pivot along the lever. EFFORT, PIVOT (Fulcrum) and LOAD are the three features that are common in every lever.

8 Load: is the weight or resistance that needs to be overcome. Effort: is the force you apply to the lever. Lever Pivot (Fulcrum): is the point on which the lever balances (or pivots)

9 What is the mechanical advantage of levers???

10 The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the output force produced by a machine to the applied input force.

11 In a lever, the ideal mechanical advantage (MAi) of a lever is the ratio of the length of the effort arm (L E ) to the length of the load arm (L L).

12 oad (F L ) Load arm length (L L ) Effort arm length (L E ) Effort (F E ) The amount of effort needed to lift a given load with any lever can be calculated using this formula: Where, F E : Effort force F E x L E = F L x L L L E : Effort arm length F L : Load force L L : Load arm length

13 1. Calculate the effort needed. 2. Calculate the Ideal Mechanical advantage. 0.4 m 2 m Effort =? 400 N

14 1. The effort is calculated as follows FE x LE = FL x LL FE x 2m = 400 N x 0.4 m FE = 400 N x 0.4 m / 2 m FE = 80 N 2. The mechanical advantage is calculated as follows : MAi= LE / LL MAi = 2 m / 0.4 m = 5

15 If the effort arm length is 5 times the load arm length, then the effort force required is 1/5 the load force; i.e. to decrease the effort force, increase the effort arm length.

16 Now Try to solve this example

17 Maitha was given the task of moving a table of 600N where the load arm length is 5m and the effort arm length is 10m. a) Calculate the Effort needed. b) Calculate the Ideal mechanical advantage (MAi). 1. The effort is calculated as follows: FE x LE = FL x LL FE x 10m = 600 N x 5 m FE x 10m = 3000 FE = 300 N 2. The mechanical advantage is calculated as follows : MAi= LE / LL MAi = 10 m / 5 m = 2

18 Find the amount of effort Calculate the mechanical advantage 1. The effort is calculated as follows: FE x LE = FL x LL FE x 2.5m = 250 N x 1 m FE x 2.5m = 250 FE = 100N 2. The mechanical advantage is calculated as follows : MAi= LE / LL MAi = 2.5 m / 1 m = 2.5

19 Find the amount of load Calculate the mechanical advantage 1. The load is calculated as follows: FE x LE = FL x LL 800N x 4m = FL x 2 m 3200 = FL x 2 m FL = 1600 N 2. The mechanical advantage is calculated as follows : MAi= LE / LL MAi = 4m / 2 m = 2

20 Find the amount of effort Calculate the mechanical advantage 1. The effort is calculated as follows: FE x LE = FL x LL FE x 2 m = 500 N x 5 m FE x 2m = 2500 FE = 1250 N 2. The mechanical advantage is calculated as follows : MAi= LE / LL MAi = 2 m / 5 m = 0.4

21 Find the amount of effort Calculate the mechanical advantage 1. The effort is calculated as follows: FE x LE = FL x LL FE x 7 m = 350 N x 2.5 m FE x 7m = 875 FE = 125 N 2. The mechanical advantage is calculated as follows : MAi= LE / LL MAi = 7 m / 2.5 m = 2.8

24 1. What are the main features that are common in levers? 2. How do you think we can change the amount of force that is applied on the lever?

25 There are 3 classes of levers: First class Second class Third class

26 In the first class of levers the Fulcrum (Pivot) is positioned between the Effort and the Load. Load Effort Pivot

27

28 Pivot In second class levers the load is positioned between the effort and the fulcrum (pivot). Load Effort

29 E L L E

30 In third class levers the effort is positioned between the load and the fulcrum (pivot) Effort Load Pivot
