A flat sloping surface that connects lower and higher elevations. It makes raising objects easier.

• wedge

• inclined plane

• lever

• pulley

MA is always greater than one in ....... class lever

Work done by effort in a machine is called ..........

A crowbar is lifting a load of 500N by using an effort of 250N.It's MA is ..........

Velocity ratio of a lever is calculated by using the formula

• VR=Ld / Ed

• VR= Ed/ Ld

• VR= Ld x Ed

• VR= Ed x Ld/2

The value of VR of a machine is always greater than the value of MA because

• MA is not affected by friction

• VR is not affected by friction

• MA is affected by friction

• VR is affected by friction

A third class lever makes our work easier.

• By multiplying the force applied.

• By accelerating work.

• By changing direction.

• Both option 2 and 3

Pradeep sits on one end of a see-saw and Prasoon sits on the other. Pradeep goes up in the air and Prasoon stays down on the ground. In order for prasoon to make Pradeep move down, he should

• stand on the board

• push down on the board

• move towards the center

• move away from the center
