CHAPTER 3 MACHINES

TECHNICAL TERMS
 1) LOAD:- The resistive or opposing force to be overcome by a
machine is called Load(L)
 2)Effort:- The force applied on the machine to overcome the load
is called Effort(E)
 3) Mechanical Advantage(MA):- Ratio of load to effort.

 MA = Load

Effort
Case1:- If effort <load ; M.A >1
force multiplier
Case2:- If effort >load ; M.A <1
Speed multiplier
Case3 :- If effort = load ; M.A =1
used to change the direction of effort to a convenient
direction.
