Simple Machines 2_*#3

In class we were told to draw a picture of 3 simple machines, pulley, lever, and wheel and axle.









For the pulley I choose to draw an elevator. The load is the pig inside the elevator, the fulcrum is the top of the wheel. The effort is the monkey in my case pulling on the rope.








For the lever i drew a teeter toter. the fulcrum is the pyrimid holding it up and the load is the high up child and the effort is the girl pusing with her legs to lower the load.


For the wheel and axle I choose to draw a fan. The axle in the middle is the effort the blades are the fan.


The next picture we drew was the other 3 simple machines.


The house with stairs is an example of and inclined plane. The stairs are and inclined plane. The load is whats being lifted by the stairs. The effort is the force pulling the load.


The wedge is the knife. The load is whats getting cut. The effort is the force behind it.


The screw i drew is an example of a a screw. The effort is the force behind it. the load is what its driving into.
