What is Mechanical Advantage?
Think about force and how machines make it easier to move things.
Define Input Force.
Consider the effort you put in to use a machine.
What does Mechanical Advantage measure?
Think about the two aspects of how machines work.
True or False: A higher Mechanical Advantage always leads to higher speed.
Consider the trade-off between speed and power.
Design a simple lever with three different configurations. Calculate the Mechanical Advantage for each configuration and discuss which configuration is most effective for lifting a 100 kg weight.
Draw diagrams for each configuration and measure lengths to set up your calculations.
Explain how changing the lengths of links in a four-bar linkage can affect the speed and force output when designed to lift a load of 1500 N.
Visualize how each link's motion affects potential force output during operation.
