3.1 MACHINESIt is our common experience that when we find difficult to open a nut, we use wrench to
open it. It is difficult to lift up a bucket of water directly from a well, but it becomes easier to lift it
up with the use of a pulley. We can find many such examples in our daily life where the use of a
machine (such as wrench, pulley, etc.) makes the job easier. Thus we define a machine as

Functions and uses of simple machines :Technical Terms Related to a Machine
Load : The resistive or opposing force to be overcome by a machine is called the load (L).Effort : The force applied on the machine to overcome the load is called the effort (E).
Mechanical advantage (M.A.) : The ratio of the load to the effort is called the mechanical advantage of the machine, i.e.,
..(3.1)
A machine, which needs a small effort to overcome a certain load, is said to have
mechanical advantage greater than one, while the machine which needs a large effort to
overcome a load is said to have mechanical advantage less than one. A machine having
mechanical advantage greater than one, works as a force multiplier, while the machine having
mechanical advantage less than one, is used to obtain gain in speed.
Since mechanical advantage is the ratio of two similar quantities, so it has no unit.
Velocity ratio (V.R.) : The ratio of the velocity of effort to the velocity of load is called the
velocity ratio of machine i.e.,
If d and d are the distances moved in time t by the load and the effort respectively, then
Velocity of load =

Velocity of effort =
Velocity ratio (V.R.) =
Or ……..(3.2)
Thus the velocity ratio is also defined as the ratio of the displacement of effort to the
displacement of load.
A machine in which displacement of load is more than the displacement of effort is said
to have the velocity ratio less than I and such a machine is used to obtain gain in speed. On the
other hand, a machine works as force multiplier if its velocity ratio is more than I, i.e.,
displacement of load is less than the displacement of effort.
Since the velocity ratio is also the ratio of two similar quantities, so it has no unit just
like M.A.
Work input : The work done on the machine by the effort, is called the work input (W
input), i.e.,
Work input = Work done by effort.
Work output : The work done by the machine on the load, is called the work output (W
output), i.e.,
Work output = Work done on load.
Efficiency ( ) : Efficiency of a machine is the ratio of the useful work done by the machine to
the work put into the machine by the effort.

In the words, efficiency is the ratio of the work output to the work input. It is denoted by
the symbol (eta).
Efficiency is usually expressed as a percentage, so we may write
.. (3.3) .. ….(3.3)
It has no unit since it is also the ratio of two similar quantities.
Principle of a machine
When energy is supplied to a machine by the effort, it does some useful work. The
energy supplied to a machine is called the input (W input) and the useful work done by the
machine is called the output (W output.)
The point at which energy is supplied to a machine by applying by applying the effort, is
called the effort point and the point where energy is obtained by overcoming the load is called
the load point.
Input energy = Work done at the effort
Point
= Effort x displacement of
point of application of the
effort.

Output energy = Work done at the load
Point
= Load x displacement of
Point of application of the
Load.
From the law of conservation of energy, it is obvious that he work done by a machine
(i.e., output energy) can never be greater than the work done on a machine (i.e., input energy).
Thus, no machine can have efficiency greater than 1 or 100%.
For an ideal machine, in which there is no dissipation of energy in any manner, the work
output will be equal to the work input. i.e., the efficiency of an ideal machine is 100%.
In practice, however, no machine is ideal or 100% efficient for the following
reasons :
(i) the moving parts in it are not perfectly smooth (or frictionless).
(ii) the string in it (if any ) is not perfectly elastic.
(iii) its different parts are not perfectly rigid, and
(iv) its moving parts are not weightless.
Due to above factors there is always some loss of energy in the machine. Thus, the
output energy from a machine is always less than the input energy to it No machine is
100% efficient.

Note : The energy lost in overcoming the force of friction between the moving parts of a machine is the most common type of loss of energy in it.

If a machine is 80% efficient, it implies that 80% of the total energy supplied to the
machine is obtained as useful energy. The remaining 20% of the energy supplied is lost in
overcoming friction etc.
3.2 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EFFICIENCY ( ), MEHANICAL ADVANTAGE (MA) AND
VELOCITY RATIO (VR)
et a machine overcomes a load L by the application of an effort E. In time t, let the
displacement of effort be d and the displacement of load be d and the displacement of load be
d.
Work input = Effort x displacement of
Effort
= E x d
Work output = Load x displacement of
Load
= L x d
Work outputEfficiency = Work input
or …..(3.4)
Thus, the mechanical advantage of a machine is equal to the product of its efficiency and
velocity ratio.

For an ideal machine (free from friction, etc.) the efficiency is equal to 1 (or 100%), so
the mechanical advantage is numerically equal to the velocity ratio.
3.3 LEVERS
Levers are the simplest kind of machines used in our daily life.
The axis, about which the lever turns, passes through a point of the lever which is called
the fulcrum. This point does not move, but remains fixed when the lever is in use.
Principle of a lever (M.A. of a lever)
Fig 3.1 shows a lever ( or a straight rod) AB with the fulcrum at F. An effort E, applied at
a point A of the lever, overcomes a load L at the point B. The distance AF of point A, at which
effort is applied, from the fulcrum F is called the effort arm and the distance BF of point B, at
which the load acts, from the fulcrum F is called the load arm.
Fig. 3.1 Levers and their kinds
An ideal lever works on the principle of moments. Neglecting the friction and assuming
that the lever is weightless, in the equilibrium position of the lever, by the principle of moments,

In actual practice, the mechanical advantage for all practical machines is always less than its velocity ratio (i.e., M.A. < V.R.) or efficiency is less than 1 (i.e., n < i).
A lever is a rigid, straight or bent bar which is capable of turning about a fixed axis.

Clockwise moment of the load about the fulcrum = Anticlockwise moment of the effort about the
fulcrum.
or Load x Load arm = Effort x Effort arm
or L x BF = E x AF
or L = AFE BF
But L = M.AE
…. (3.5)
This relation is known as the law of levers. Thus
From eqn. (3.5), it is clear that if effort arm = load arm, M.A. = 1; if effort arm < load arm,
M.A. < 1 and if effort arm > load arm, M.A. > 1. The mechanical advantage of a lever can be
increased by increasing its effort arm.
Kinds of levers
Depending upon the relative positions of the effort, load and fulcrum, there are following
three types of levers : (a) Class I levers, (b) Class II levers and (c) Class III levers.
(a) Class I levers : In these types of levers, the fulcrum F is in between the effort E and
the load L as shown in Fig. 3.1 (a).
Some of these are shown in Fig. 3.2.

Effort arm AFM.A. = Load arm BF
The mechanical advantage of a lever is equal to the ratio of the length of its effort arm to the length of its load arm.

Fig. 3.2. Class I levers
When the effort arm is longer than the load arm, the mechanical advantage and the
velocity ratio of the lever are greater than 1. Such a lever serves as a force multiplier, i.e., it
enables us to overcome a large resistive force (load) by a small effort e.t. shears, used for
cutting the thin metal sheets, have much longer handles as compared to its blades. Similarly a
crowbar, claw hammer, pliers and spoon, used to open the lid of a container, have long handles
(or long effort arms). If a lever has effort arm and load arm of equal lengths, then its mechanical
advantage and velocity ratio are both equal to 1 e.t. a physical balance whose both arms are
equal. When a lever has effort arm shorter than the load arm, its mechanical advantage and
velocity ratio both are less than 1 e.g., a pair of scissors whose blades are longer than its
handles. Such levers are used to obtain gain in speed because the velocity ratio less than 1
implies d > d i.e., the displacement of load is more as compared to the displacement of effort.
For example, a pair of scissors is used to cut a piece of cloth (or paper) so that the blades
move longer on the cloth (or paper) than its handles.
(b) Class II levers : In these types of levers, the load L is in between the effort I and the
fulcrum F as shown in Fig. 3.1 (b). The effort arm is thus always longer than the load arm. From
eqn. (3.5), M.A. > 1 and since M.A. is either equal to or less than V.R., so V.R. > 1. Thus

For class I levers, the mechanical advantage and velocity ratio can have any value greater than I, equal to 1 or less than 1.
The mechanical advantage and velocity ratio of class I levers are always more than 1.

In other words, second class of lever always acts as a force multiplier i.e., a less effort is
needed to overcome a large load by using the second class of lever. For example, a hard nut
is broken by applying a little effort in a nut cracker.
Examples : A nut cracker, a bottle opener, wheel barrow, a lemon crusher, a paper cutter, a
mango cutter, an oar used for rowing a boat, a bar used to lift a load, raising the weight of the
human body on toes, are examples of Class II levers. Some of these are shown in Fig. 3.3.
(c) Class III levers : In these types of levers, the effort E is in between the fulcrum F and
the load L (Fig. 3.1 (c) and the effort arm is always smaller then the load arm. Therefore from
eqn. (3.5) M.A. < 1 and since M.A. is either equal to or less than VR i.e., V.R. < 1 for these
levers. Thus
With these types of levers we do not get gain in force, but we get gain in speed i.e., a
larger displacement of load is obtained by a smaller displacement of effort. For example, the
blade of a knife moves longer by a small displacement of its handle.

tongs, foot treadle, knife, a spade used to lift coal (or soil), etc., Class III levers. Some of these
are shown in Fig. 3.4.
Fig. 3.4 Class III levers
Examples of each class of levers as found in the human body
In the human body, we can find the examples of all the three classes of levers. In a
human body, the muscles exert force (i.e., effort) by contraction.
(i) Class I lever in the action of nodding of the head : Fig. 3.5 shows the action of
nodding of the head. In this action, the spine acts as the fulcrum, load is at its
front part, while effort is at its rear part. Thus this is an example of Class I lever.

(ii) Class II lever in raising the weight of the body on toes : Fig. 3.6 shows how the weight
of the body is raised on the toes. The fulcrum is at toes at one end, the load (i.e., weight of
the body) is in the middle and effort by muscles at other end. Thus this is an example of
Class II lever.

(iii) Class III lever in raising a load by forearm : Fig. 3.7 shows the action of bicep. The
elbow joint acts as fulcrum at one end, biceps exerts the effort in the middle and a load
on the palm is at other end. Thus this is an example of Class III lever.

3.4 INCLINED PLANE
It is a common experience n our daily life that a sloping plank (or an inclined plane) is
used to load a truck or to take the scooter from road into the house on a higher level. Similarly,
inclined planes or ramps (or stairs on an inclined plane) are used to reach the bridge over the
railway tracks at a railway station. Thus we can define an inclined plane as follows :
The toughest test & the best notes from the best professors Prepared by Sandeep SinghFor suggestions /more notes mail: [email protected] or call 9324087417
An inclined plane is a sloping surface that behaves like a simple machine whose mechanical advantage is always greater than 1.

TEST/ASSIGNMENT FOR STD 7th /8th /9th /10th TOPIC: SUB: BOARD:CBSE/ICSE/SSC
Thus, less effort is needed in lifting a load to a higher level by moving over an inclined
plane as compared to that in lifting the load directly (i.e., vertically up). An inclined plane thus
acts as a force multiplier. However we may note that the work done in lifting a load up while
using an inclined plane will be same as in lifting the load directly up to the same height.
Mechanical advantage (M.A.) of an inclined plane
Let a load L be lifted through a height h by using an inclined plane. In Fig. 3.8, AC is an
inclined plane which makes an angle CAB = Q with the horizontal AB. The length of the inclined
plane is AC = and the vertical height of the inclined plane is BC = h.
Fig. 3.8 Inclined plane
Let the load L be raised from the bottom A to the top C of the plane by applying an effort E
along the inclined plane. At any position on the inclined plane, following three forces act on the
load :
(i) The weight of the load equal to L vertically downwards,
(ii) the reaction R of the plane on the load normal to the plane upwards and
(iii) the effort E along the plane upwards.
The load L can be resolved in two components :
(i) L cos Q. the component normal to AC downwards, and
(ii) L sin Q, the component along AC downwards.

If the inclined plane is frictionless, then in equilibrium, the component L cos Q balances
the normal reaction R and the component L sin Q is balanced by the effort E, i.e., L cos Q
= R L sin Q = E.
Thus, the minimum effort needed to pull the load along the inclined plane is L sin Q and
distance moved by effort is d = AC = , while the useful or required distance moved by the load
is d = BC = h.
Now mechanical advantage (M.A.) = Load (L)

TEST/ASSIGNMENT FOR STD 7th /8th /9th /10th TOPIC: SUB: BOARD:CBSE/ICSE/SSC
In actual practice, due to some friction between the plane and the body which is pushed
on it, the effort needed is more than L sin Q, so the mechanical advantage is less than /h,
hence, efficiency is less than 1 (since velocity ratio remains /h).
It is obvious that for a given height h, longer the length of the inclined plane (i.e., smaller
the angle of inclination Q), greater is the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane.
If inclined plane is not used, the effort needed will be equal to the load to be lifted i.e., L.
Thus the use of inclined plane decreases the effort needed from L to L sin Q. The usefulness of
an inclined plane can be understood by the following example.
Example : Suppose a boy an exert a maximum force of 20 kgf, i.e., he cannot lift
vertically a load of mass more than 20 kg. Now if he wants to raise a load of mass 40 kg on to a
high wall, he can do it with the help of an inclined plane whose slope is given as
1 Effort 20 1Sin Q = M.A Load 40 2
Thus, by placing a wooden plank at an angle equal to 300 with the horizontal surface, he
can push the load of mass 40 kg to any height by exerting a force (or effort) of 20 kgf. Note that
if there is some friction between the plank and the body, the angle of inclination of the plank will
then be kept less than 300.

(a) How much force world be needed to lift a drum into the truck directly, without using
the plank ?
(Take g = 10 N kg -1)

mechanical advantage of the inclined plank, (ii) the force (or effort) needed to push a
drum up the plank.

(c) The actual force needed to push a drum up the plank (i.e., 300 N ) is less than the weight (or
load = 800 N) because the sloping plank acts like a machine of which the mechanical
advantage is greater than 1.
The actual force needed to push a drum up the plank (i.e., 300 N) is more than the effort
needed to push a drum up the plank ( = 213.33 N ) as calculated in part (b) (ii) because there is
some friction between the plank and the drum. So a part of the force ( = 300 – 213.33 = 86.67
N )overcomes the force of friction.

(B) PULLEY
3.5 PULLEY
Fig. 3.17 (a) and (b) shows a simple pulley. It is a metallic (or wooden) disc with a
grooved rim. A string is passed around the groove. The disc rotates about an axle passing
through its centre. The axle is fixed to a frame or a block.
Generally a single pulley or a combination of two or more pulleys fixed in a frame, is
called a block, while a string (rope or chain) that winds around the pulleys in different blocks is
known as tackle.
A pulley can be used in two ways : (i) by keeping its axix of rotation fixed, and (ii) without
keeping its axis of rotation fixed. When the axis of rotation of a pulley is kept fixed, it is called a
fixed pulley and if the axis of rotation is not fixed, it is called a movable pulley.

A pulley which has its axis of rotation fixed, is called a fixed pulley.

Fig. 3.18 shows a single fixed pulley in which the axle is fixed to a rigid support and an inextensible string of negligible mass passes around the grooved rim of the pulley. One end of the string is connected to the load L and the effort E is applied at the other end of the string. This type of pulley is used for lifting a small load (such as a water bucket or a basket).
M.A. V.R and of a single fixed pulleyThe load L to be lifted is tied to one end of the string and an effort E is applied at the
other end. Tension T acts upwards on the string on both sides of the pulley and it is the same
throughout the string. Neglecting (i) the mass of the string, (ii) friction between the string and
surce of the rim of the pulley” and (iii) the friction in the pulley bearings, in the balanced
position of the load, we have
L = T ….(i)
And E = T (when pulley is not rotating ) … (ii)
…. (308)
Thus, in this arrangement there is no gain in the mechanical advantage. In other words,
using a single fixed pulley, the effort needed to lift a load is equal to the load itself (in the ideal
situation). In actual practice, there is always some friction between the string and surface of the
rim of the pulley, so the effort needed is grater than the load to be lifted.

If the effort E moves a distance d downwards, the load L also moves the same distance
d upwards, i.e., if d = d then d = d.
……(3.9)
Hence efficiency = M.A = 1 or 100% …..(3.10) V.R(when mass of the string and friction in the pulley bearings is ignored)
Now the question arises that when there is no gain in mechanical advantage or the velocity
ratio, then why is it used > The reason is that a single fixed pulley is used only to change the
direction of the force applied, i.e. with its use the effort can be applied in a more convenient
direction. To raise a load directly upwards is difficult. But with the help of a fixed pulley, the
effort can be applied in the downward direction to move the load upwards. One can
conveniently make use of his own weight also for the effort.
3.7 A SINGLE MOVABLE PULLEY
Fig. 3.19 shows a single movable pulley in which the load L to be raised, is attached to its axle. An inextensible string of negligible mass passes around the grooved rim of the pulley. One end of the string is tied to a hook H at a rigid support and the effort E is applied at its free end. The tension T acts on the string on both sides of the pulley as shown in Fig. 3.19. The effort balances the tension at the free end.

M.A., V.R. and of a single movable pulley
In Fig. 3.19, the load L is balanced by the tension in two segments of the string, so
L = T + T + 2T and E + T (Here we have assumed that the weight of pulley is negligible)
Mechanical advantage = Load L Effort E
or
Thus, using a single movable pulley, the load can be lifted by applying an effort equal to half the load (in ideal situation), i.e., the single movable pulley acts as a force multiplier.
When the load is pulled up through a distance d, the free end of the string is pulled up by the effort through a distance 2d, i.e.,
If d = d then d = 2d.
Velocity ration = distance moved by the effort Distance moved by the load
or ….(3.12)
… (3. 13)
Here we have not taken into consideration the friction in the pulley bearings and also the
weight of the pulley and string, otherwise M.A. will be less than 2 and efficiency will be less than
100% since V.R. always remains 2.

It may be noted here that with a single movable pulley, the effort has to be applied in the
upward direction. However, it is inconvenient to apply the effort in an upward direction,
therefore the movable pulley is used along with a single fixed pulley to change the direction of
effort.
Fig. 3.20 Single movable pulley with a fixed pulley
Fig. 3.20 shows the arrangement where B is the fixed pulley and A is the movable pulley to
which the load is attached. Now effort can be applied in the downward direction which is quite
convenient. The mechanical advantage and the velocity ratio of this arrangement remain the
same as that of a single movable pulley.
3.8 COMBINATION OF PULLEYS (BLOCK AND TACKLE SYSTEM)
When large loads are to be lifted or shifted, a single pulley is not enough, but a system of
pulleys is then used. This is called the block and tackele system.
Here two blocks of pulleys are used. One block (upper) is fixed to a rigid support and the
other block (lower) is movable.
The number of pulleys used in the movable lower block is either equal to or one less than
the number of pulleys in the fixed upper block. An inextensible single string of negligible mass
passes around all the pulleys. One end of the string is attached to hook of the lower block (if the
number of pulleys in the upper block is more than that in the lower block) or it is attached to
hook of the upper block (if the number of pulleys is equal in both the blocks) so as to apply the
effort in the downward direction. Fig. 3.21 shows a block and tackle arrangement of 5 pulleys in

In Fig. 3.21, the tension in the five segments of string supports the load L, therefore,
L = 5 T and E = T.

Similarly in Fig. 3.22, the tension in the four segments of string supports the load L, therefore,

Thus, the effort required to balance the load
In a block and tackle system if the load moves up through a distance d, the effort moves through a distance n d because each section of the string supporting the load is loosened by a length d, i.e., if d = d, then d = n d.
…….(3.16)
Thus, the velocity ratio is always equal to the number of strands of tackle (or sections of the string) supporting the load.

Note that the efficiency is 100% only in the ideal situation, i.e., when there is no friction in
bearings of pulleys and the weight of the string and the weight of pulleys in the lower block, are
negligible.
It is interesting to note that the pulley system is only a force multiplier and there is no gain in
energy.

In practice, however, no machine is ideal or 100% efficient for the following reasons :
(i) the moving parts in it are not perfectly smooth (or frictionless).
(ii) the string in it (if any ) is not perfectly elastic.
(iii) its different parts are not perfectly rigid, and
(iv) its moving parts are not weightless.
Due to above factors there is always some loss of energy in the machine. Thus, the output energy from a machine is always less than the input energy to it No machine is 100% efficient. In the action of nodding of the head, the spine acts as the fulcrum, load is at its front
part, while effort is at its rear part. Thus this is an example of Class I lever. The fulcrum is at toes at one end, the load (i.e., weight of the body) is in the middle and effort by muscles at other end. Thus this is an example of Class II lever.

II) A single fixed pulley does not provide any mechanical advantage but still it is used very often. why?
The single fixed pulley inverts the direction of the force. An upward force on the load is changed to a downward pull.This is very convenient to lift load. So it is used very often.(c) A block and tackle system has the velocity ratio 3. A man can exert a pull of 200 kgf. What is the maximum load he can raise with this pulley system if its efficiency is 60%?

PROB. 5. A force of 5 kgf is required to cut a metal sheet. A shears used for cutting the metal sheet
has its blades 5 cm long, while its handle is 10 cm long. What effort is needed to cut the sheet? Ans.
2.5
Q.1. Let the distance moved by the effort = D
Distance moved by the load = d = 1 m (given)
Let the load = W
and the effort applied = E
By the principle of machines E. D = W . d
Therefore, D/d = W/E
But W/E = 5
Hence D = (W X d)/E = 5 x 1 m
D = 5 m
