ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Work, Power, and Machines Bellringer In your study of motion, you have learned that forces can cause motion. But in some cases, a force that is applied is balanced by another opposite force, and there is no net motion as a result. Look at the following illustrations, and identify the forces and motion in each one. (See illustrations on following slide.) 1. In one drawing, no motion is likely to occur. Which drawing is it? 2. Describe the forces that are acting in this diagram. If the person exerts slightly more force, what happens to the opposite force? Does it increase to match the new force of the person, stay the same, or decrease? Chapter 12

4. Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Section 1 Work, Power, and Machines What is Work? Work is the transfer of energy to a body by the application of a force that causes the body to move in the direction of the force. Work is done only when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force. This is different from the everyday meaning of work. Work Equation work = force  distance W = F  d Chapter 12

Because work is calculated as force times distance, it is measured in units of newtons times meters, Nm. These units are also called joules (J). In terms of SI base units, a joule is equivalent to 1 kgm 2 /s 2. Definition of joules 1 J = 1 Nm = 1 kgm 2 /s 2 Chapter 12

Machines help people by redistributing the work put into them. They can change either the size or the direction of the input force. Different forces can do the same amount of work. A machine allows the same amount of work to be done by either decreasing the distance while increasing the force or by decreasing the force while increasing the distance. Chapter 12

18. Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu The Lever Family, continued Levers have a rigid arm and a fulcrum. Levers are divided into three classes. All first-class levers have a fulcrum located between the points of application of the input and output forces. In a second-class lever, the fulcrum is at one end of the arm and the input force is applied to the other end. Third-class levers multiply distance rather than force. As a result, they have a mechanical advantage of less than 1. Section 2 Simple Machines Chapter 12

The point in the middle of a pulley is like the fulcrum of a lever. A single, fixed pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1. Multiple pulleys are sometimes put together in a single unit called a block and tackle. A wheel and axle is a lever or pulley connected to a shaft.

A machine cannot do more work than the work required to operate the machine. Because of friction, the work output of a machine is always somewhat less than the work input. Efficiency is the ratio of useful work out to work in. Efficiency is usually expressed as a percentage. The efficiency of a machine is a measure of how much useful work it can do. Chapter 12
