Define lever
Is a bone and is shown as a straight line
Is a pivot or joint and is shown as a triangle
Is a force provided by muscles and is shown by an arrow
Is the weight of the body/object being moved, it is shown as a square.
Define fulcrum
Is a bone and is shown as a straight line
Is a pivot or joint and is shown as a triangle
Is a force provided by muscles and is shown by an arrow
Is the weight of the body/object being moved, it is shown as a square.
Define effort
Is a bone and is shown as a straight line
Is a pivot or joint and is shown as a triangle
Is a force provided by muscles and is shown by an arrow
Is the weight of the body/object being moved, it is shown as a square.
Define load
Is a bone and is shown as a straight line
Is a pivot or joint and is shown as a triangle
Is a force provided by muscles and is shown by an arrow
Is the weight of the body/object being moved, it is shown as a square.
Define mechanical advantage
A large load can be lifted with a relatively small amount of effort
Levers cannot lift as heavy a load with the same amount of effort, due to the position of the effort and load from the fulcrum.
Describe mechanical advantage in relation to 1st and 2nd class levers
Strong and stable and allows a load to be moved with relatively small effort.
Strong and stable and allows a load to be moved with large muscular effort.
Provides speed and a wide range of movement.
