Page 3: Work, Power, and Machines. Work Push a box across the floor. When a force is exerted over a distance, work is done. Work is the product of force and distance.

Sample Work Problem• What is the work done on the box if the force exerted is

44N and the distance covered is 3.5m?

d = 3.5m

F = 44N

Work is measured in Joules (J), the unit for energy.

Work and Direction• There are occasions in which forces are not in the same

direction as the distance covered (displacement). • Consider a sled being dragged across the snow by a

diagonal rope.

• The angle between the vector

quantities of force and displacement

is denoted as

What is the direction of motion of the sled?

What is the direction of the force acting on the sled?

Work and Direction (cont.)• We are only interested in the component of force in the

direction of the displacement (Fd).

• A trig function must be introduced in order to calculate work when directions are different.

• Now the sled problem is solvable!

Work and Path• Consider the movements of the three identical balls below.

Each starts from the ground and ends up at the entry doors.

• Which ball requires the most work if there is no friction present?

• The answer is that they all require the same amount of work because portions of their paths may have required less work or even no work, but the totals were equal.

Work And Friction• Friction requires work to be done.

• Consider a box being dragged across a sidewalk.

• What is the direction of the displacement?

• What is the direction of the frictional force?

• What is the angle between the vectors below?

• What is cos 180°?

• This means that work can be negative.

• This may include situations other than friction.

Which Does More Work• After waking up on a cold winter morning, you find your

driveway blanketed with snow.• You have two choices for clearing the snow.

– A snow shovel (Exerts 200N over a distance of 8m in 25s)– Or a snow blower (Exerts 200N over a distance of 8m in 10s)

• Which way involves more work in removing the snow?• The answer is that they do the same amount of work

because the same force is exerted over the same distance. The power is different however.

Page 16: Work, Power, and Machines. Work Push a box across the floor. When a force is exerted over a distance, work is done. Work is the product of force and distance.

Power• Power is the rate at which work is being done.• The unit for power is the Watt (W).• The equation for power is shown below.

grinding machine.• The motor exerts a force of 340N and turns a distance of

10m. The entire process takes 17s.• Assuming no energy losses, what was the work done by the

motor? What is the power that the motor uses?

Simple Machines• Machines are designed to make our lives easier. • In terms of forces, they can change direction, magnitude, or both.• However, we must remember that machines still require the

same amount of work (and in some cases more) to be done.• Any combination of these would constitute a compound machine.

Mechanical Advantage• Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force.• This shows how many times a force is multiplied by a machine.

– If MA = 1, then no forces are multiplied.– If MA > 1, then forces are multiplied.– If MA < 1, then forces are divided.

• The trade off is distance. However many

times the forces are multiplied, so the

Input distance exceeds the output distance.• Mechanical advantage is unitless.

Ideal Mechanical Advantage• The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of a machine is

the ratio of input distance (dI) to output distance (dO).

• IMA shows what the mechanical advantage would be in a perfect situation.

• Friction and other energy losses often cause the MA to be less than ideal.

• Like MA, IMA is also unitless.

Levers• A lever consists of a rigid shaft that pivots about

a fixed point.• Each lever is made up of three major parts:

– Fulcrum – Pivot Point

– Effort – Input Force (FI)

– Load (Resistance) – Output Force (FO)

• There are three major types of levers.

Lever Types• There are three major types of levers.

• This depends on what component is located in the center.– Type I – Fulcrum in Center– Type II – Load in Center– Type III – Effort in Center

Solving Lever Problems• Input and output distance (dI and dO) are found by finding

how far the effort (FI) and load (FO) are from the fulcrum.

• The following relationship exists in a perfect lever:
