Leversa rigid bar that is free to move around a fixed
point.
The fixed point the bar rotates around is the fulcrum.
Levers are classified into three categories based on the locations of the input force, the output force, and the fulcrum.
To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of any lever, divide the input arm by the output arm.

First-Class LeversIn a first-class lever, the fulcrum is always
located between the input force and the output force.
Example See-saw, scissors, & tongs

Second-Class LeversIn a second-class lever the output force is
located between the input force and the fulcrum.
Example bottle opener

Third-Class LeverIn a third-class lever the input force is located
between the fulcrum and the output force.

Wheel & Axlea simple machine that consists of two disks or
cylinders, each one with a different radius.
The outer cylinder is the wheel and the inner cylinder is the axle
the steering wheel the driver turns is the wheel, and the shaft that rotates with it is the axle.

Wheel & AxleTo calculate the ideal mechanical
advantage of the wheel and axle, divide the radius (or diameter) where the input force is exerted by the radius (or diameter) where the output force is exerted.

Inclined Planesa slanted surface along which a force moves an
object to a different elevation.
Wheelchair ramp is an example of this
The ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the distance along the inclined plane divided by its change in height.

WedgeA V-shaped object whose sides are two inclined
planes sloped toward each other.
A thin wedge of a given length has a greater ideal mechanical advantage than a thick wedge of the same length.
Examples are a knife blade, which cuts best when its edge is sharp, and a zipper, which uses a wedge to separate and join the zipper's teeth.

ScrewAn inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
Screws with threads that are closer together have a greater ideal mechanical advantage.

PulleysA simple machine that
consists of a rope that fits into a groove in a wheel.
Ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley or pulley system is equal to the number of rope sections supporting the load being lifted.

Fixed PulleysWheel attached in
a fixed location.
Examples of fixed pulleys include the pulley at the top of a flagpole and the pulleys used to pull up blinds.

Movable Pulleysis attached to the object
being moved rather than to a fixed location.
Sailors use movable pulleys to pull in sails, and skyscraper window washers stand on platforms suspended by movable pulleys.

that operate together.
Many familiar compound machines, such as a car, a washing machine, or a clock, are combinations of hundreds or thousands of simple machines.
