• Mechanical design is an important component of this class – how it relates to your project
• What you want to learn?
• What you plan to do?
Kinematics
• The study of motion without regard without regard to the forces or mass of the things moving.
• Kinematic diagrams are scaled drawings symbolizing how mechanisms work.
• We studied robot kinematics in Fall but we did not take into account forces.

Simple Experiment: Balancing Act• Using only a meter stick and a wooden block, balance two
masses in a seesaw kind of structure.
• How did you get them to balance?– Could you do it in one try?
• Compare your setup with other possible setups
Engagement
This is useful in
robot arm design
Do this by yourself, not in class
Lever Forces
Exploration
• Materials– Computer/calculator– Force Probe– 500g mass– String– Meter stick– Wooden Block
Simple Experiment: Balancing Act
High school robotics
Lever ForcesExploration
• Measure the Weight of the 500g mass (in Newtons).
• Balance the middle of the meter stick on the wooden block.
• Place the 500g mass at the 90 cm line.
• Attach the string to the meter stick at the 10 cm line.
• Attach the string to the force meter and pull down on the sensor until the meter stick is balanced.
• Record the force needed to balance the meter stick.
• Repeat the above steps with the 500g mass at the 70 cm line and the 60 cm line.
Simple Experiment: Balancing Act
Lever Forces
Exploration
• After recording your data in a table, perform the following calculations for the three trials:
– Divide the weight of the 500g mass by the force required to balance the meter stick.
– Divide the distance between the force meter and the wooden block by the distance between the 500g mass and the wooden block.
• How do these numbers compare?• What do these numbers indicate about the
lever system?
Simple Experiment: Balancing Act
Why use a Simple Machine?Why use a Simple Machine?Explanation
• Simple Machines make work easier by giving the user a mechanical advantage.
• How do we calculate the mechanical advantage for a lever system?
• Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) = Leffort / Lresistance
• Why do we stipulate that the MA is ideal? Because we’ve assumed that the machine puts out exactly as much work as we put in. This implies 100% efficiency
• This situation is never possible…why?
Leffort is the distance between the effort force and the fulcrumLresistance is the distance between the resistance force and the fulcrum
100% efficiency is never possible because of FRICTION.
Mechanical Mechanical Advantage = MAAdvantage = MA
Lever ExampleExplanation
• A worker uses an iron bar to raise a manhole cover that weighs 90 Newtons. The effort arm of the bar is 60 cm long and the resistance arm is 10 cm long.
• Draw a picture of this scenario
• Calculate the IMA of the lever systemIMA = Le/Lr = 60 cm/ 10cm = 6
• What force would the worker need to apply to lift the manhole?
90 N?
• We need 90 N of force to lift the manhole cover, but we have a mechanical advantage of 6.
• Now we only need 15 N of force to lift the manhole.
Three Three Classes of Classes of
LeversLevers
“First Class Lever”• A first-class lever is a lever in
which the fulcrum is located between the input effort and the output load.
• In operation, a force is applied (by pulling or pushing) to a section of the bar, which causes the lever to swing about the fulcrum, overcoming the resistance force on the opposite side.
• The fulcrum may be at the center point of the lever as in a seesaw or at any point between the input and output.
• This supports the effort arm and the load.
Examples:•Seesaw•Scissors (double lever)
Classes of LeversClasses of Levers
Fulcrum is between EF (effort) and RF (load)Effort moves farther than Resistance. Multiplies EF and changes its direction
The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the length of the lever on the applied force side of the fulcrum to the length of the lever
on the resistance force side of the fulcrum.
First Class LeverFirst Class LeverfulcrumEffort
Resistance
Common examples of first-classfirst-class levers include – crowbars, crowbars, – scissors, scissors, – pliers, pliers, – tin snips tin snips – and seesawsand seesaws.
Examples of first class levers
RF (load) is between fulcrum and EF Effort moves farther than Resistance.
Multiplies EF, but does not change its direction The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the distance from the applied force to the fulcrum to the distance from the
resistance force to the fulcrum.
Second Class LeverSecond Class LeverEffortEffortResistance
Three Lever ClassesExplanation
• Second class lever– Resistance is located between the effort force and the fulcrum. – Always multiplies a force
– Example: Wheelbarrow
R
F
E
Always multiplies a force.
“Second Class Lever”
In a second class lever the input effort is located at the end of the bar and the fulcrum is located at the other end of the bar, opposite to the input, with the output load at a point between these two forces.
Examples:•Paddle•Wheelbarrow•Wrench
Examples of Second class levers
• Examples of second-class levers include:
• nut crackers, nut crackers, • wheel barrows, wheel barrows, • doors, doors, • and bottle and bottle
openersopeners.
Examples of second-class levers
EF is between fulcrum and RF (load) Does not multiply force
Resistance moves farther than Effort. Multiplies the distance the effort force travels
The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the distance from the applied force to the fulcrum to the distance of the
resistance force to the fulcrum
ThirdThird Class Lever
• For this class of levers, the input effort is higher than the output load, which is different from second-class levers and some first-class levers.
• However, the distance moved by the resistance (load) is greater than the distance moved by the effort.
• In third class levers, effort is applied between the output load on one end and the fulcrum on the opposite end.
““Third Class Third Class Lever”Lever” Examples:
•Hockey Stick
•Tweezers
•Fishing Rod
Classes of Levers
Three Lever ClassesExplanation
• Third class lever– Effort force located between the resistance and the fulcrum. – Effort arm is always shorter than resistance arm– MA is always less than one
– Example: Broom
R
F
E
There is an increase distance moved and speed at the other end.Other examples are baseball bat or hockey stick.
Examples of Third Examples of Third Class Levers
• Examples of third-class levers include:– tweezers, tweezers, – arm arm

Mechanical AdvantageMechanical Advantage• Mechanical Advantage Mechanical Advantage is the ratio between the
load and effort.
• Mechanical Advantage Mechanical Advantage deals only with forces.
• Mechanical Advantage > 1 > 1 means that the output force will be greater than the input force. – (But the input distance will need to be greater than the
output distance.)
•First and Second class levers have a positive mechanical advantage.
•Third class levers have a mechanical disadvantagedisadvantage, , meaning you use more force that the force of the load you lift.
Mechanical AdvantageMechanical Advantage
Velocity RatioVelocity Ratio• Velocity Ratio deals with the distance gained
or lost due to a mechanical advantage.
• Velocity Ration >1 means that the input distance (or effort) to move a load will be greater than the output distance of the load.
Mechanical Advantage: Example
Mechanical Advantage = effort arm resistance arm
Crazy Joe is moving bricks to build his cabin.
With the use of his simple machine, a lever, he moves them easily.
The “effort arm” of his wheel barrow is 4ft., while the resistance arm of his wheelbarrow is 1 ft.
4/1 is his mechanical advantage. MA= 4.
How the Lever How the Lever changes the Force?changes the Force?
“The length of the effort arm is the same number of times greater than the length of the resistance arm as the resistance to be overcome is greater than the effort you must apply.”
Plugging these into an equation gives you the change in force by using a lever. whereL = length of effort arm,l = length of resistance arm,R = resistance weight or force, andE= effort force.
One convenience of machines is that you
can determine in advance the forces
required for their operation, as well as the forces they will
exert.
F o r c e C h a n F o r c e C h a n g eg e• Suppose you want to pry up the lid of a paint can with a 6-inch file scraper, and you
know that the average force holding the lid is 50 pounds. • If the distance from the edge of the paint can to the edge of the cover is 1 inch,
what force will you have to apply on the end of the file scraper?
L = 5 inchesl = 1 inchR = 50 pounds, andE is unknown. = 10 pounds
• You will need to apply a force of only 10 pounds.

Inclined Inclined PlanePlane
Inclined PlaneInclined Plane– Sloping surface used to lift heavy loads with less effort
http://www.sirinet.net/~jgjohnso/simple.html
Inclined Plane in antiquity
Inclined Plane - Egyptians• The Egyptians used simple machines to build the pyramids. • One method was to build a very long incline out of dirt that
rose upward to the top of the pyramid very gently. • The blocks of stone were placed on large logs (another type of
simple machine - the wheel and axle) and pushed slowly up the long, gentle inclined plane to the top of the pyramid.
Inclined Plane Principles• An inclined plane is a flat
surface that is higher on one end
• Inclined planes make the work of moving things easier
A sloping surface, such as a ramp. An inclined plane can be used to alter the effort and distance involved in doing work, such as lifting loads. The trade-off is that an object must be moved a longer distance than if it was lifted straight up, but less force is needed.You can use this machine to move an object to a lower or higher place. Inclined planes make the work of moving things easier. You would need less energy and force to move objects with an inclined plane.

Inclined Plane -Inclined Plane -Mechanical AdvantageMechanical Advantage
• The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is equal to the length of the slope divided by the height of the inclined plane.
• While the inclined plane produces a mechanical advantage, it does so by increasing the distance through which the force must move.
Work input and outputWork input and output• Work input Work input is the amount of work done on
a machine. – Input force x input distance
• Work output is the amount of work done by a machine.– Output force x output distance

ScrewScrew
ScrewScrew
The mechanical advantage of an screw mechanical advantage of an screw can be calculated by dividing the circumference by the pitch of the screw.
Pitch equals 1// number of turns per inch.
A screw is an inclined plane wound around a central cylinder
ScrewScrew– ConvertsConverts a rotary motion into a forward or
backward motion
http://www.sirinet.net/~jgjohnso/simple.html
WedgesWedges
WedgeWedge– Converts motion in
one direction into a splitting motion that acts at right angles to the blade
– A lifting machine may use a wedge to get under a load
http://www.mos.org/sln/Leonardo/InventorsToolbox.html
Wedges• Two inclined Two inclined
planes planes joined back to back.
• Wedges are used to splitsplit things.
Wedge – Mechanical AdvantageMechanical Advantage
• The mechanical advantage of a wedge can be found by dividing the length of either slope (S) by the thickness (T) of the big end.
S
• As an example, assume that the length of the slope is 10 inches and the thickness is 4 inches.
• The mechanical advantage is equal to 10/4 or 2 1/2.
• As with the inclined plane, the mechanical advantage gained by using a wedge requires a corresponding increase in distance.
TS/TS/T
For Example…• Assume that the length of the slope (S) of a wedge
is 12 inches and the thickness (T) is 3 inches. • MA = S/T• MA = 12 inches/3 inches• MA = 4
How Does a Wedge Change the Force?
• Wedges change the direction of an applied force.
• When force is applied downward on a wedge, it distributes the force outward in two directions, separating a material.
Example of mechanical advantageExample of mechanical advantage
• A box is lifted by two supporting ropes. What is the mechanical advantage?
• MA=number of supporting ropes
• MA=2
