During the Industrial Revolution (1750-1850), society experienced a transition to a __________-based industry.

• Steam

• Electronics

• Machine

• Human powered

Given the power of the steam engine, it was______ machines that made these new tools work.

• Simple

• Mechanical

• Complicated

• Steam powered

In the picture, a simple machine, called a _______ is used to raise a heavy box with considerably less effort than the job would require without the tool.

• Lever

• Pry Bar

• Wood Plank

• Teeter Totter

Mechanical Advantage = Output Force /Input Force

So if the output is 50 and the input is 5, then what is the Mechanical Advantage?

There are six simple machines. Please describe which machine is pictured.

• A lever consists of a beam that pivots about a fixed hinge, or fulcrum.

• The wheel and axle consists of a wheel attached to a smaller axle so that these two parts rotate together.

• A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change of direction of a taut cable or belt.

• An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat surface tilted at an angle.

Which of the six simple machines is pictured here?

• A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is derived from the inclined plane.

• The wheel and axle consists of a wheel attached to a smaller axle so that these two parts rotate together.

• A lever consists of a beam that pivots about a fixed hinge, or fulcrum.

• A screw is essentially an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
