Examples of this simple machine are used to hold things together. It is made up of an inclinded plane wrapped around a cylider.

• Wheel and Axle

• Pulley

• Inclined Plane

• Screw

A heavy object could be rolled up this simple machine, instead of lifting it straight up. Using this simple machine can save effort, although the object must usually cover more distance if this simple machine is used.

A rod attached to the center of a wheel is called?

• a magnet

• a top

• a wedge

• an axle

What should you do to reduce the amount of effort needed to lift something using a first class lever?

• move the fulcrum to the middle of the lever

• move the fulcrum closer to the effort

• Lift the item with your arms

• move the fulcrum closer to the load

The efficiency of a Simple Machine is

• is equal to 100%

• is always more than 100%

• Always less than 100%

• is always 50%

If the Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) of a simple machine is 4, and the Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) is 4.87, what is the Efficiency of the machine?

Hint: AMA/IMA x 100 = Efficiency

• 82.1%

• 12.17%

• 121%

• 88.7%
