Machines Flashcards
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 ,
if a machine as velocity ratio = 1 such machines generally does
change in direction of effort
work input means
work done on the machine by effort
work output
work done by the machine on the load
efficiency means
ratio of work output / work input
