Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following are characteristics of an ideal machine?

Show answer

No friction between parts, Weightless parts, 100% efficiency, Output work equals input work

An ideal machine has no friction, weightless parts, 100% efficiency, and output work equals input work. M.A. can be any value depending on the machine type.

2multiple correct

Which of the following are examples of Class II levers?

Show answer

Wheelbarrow, Bottle opener, Nutcracker

In Class II levers, the load is between fulcrum and effort. Wheelbarrow, bottle opener, and nutcracker are examples. Scissors and tweezers are Class I and Class III respectively.

3multiple choice

The mechanical advantage of a single fixed pulley is:

Show answer

1

A single fixed pulley has M.A. = 1 because the load and effort are equal. Its main advantage is changing the direction of effort.

4multiple choice

A single movable pulley has a mechanical advantage of:

Show answer

2

A single movable pulley has M.A. = 2 because the load is supported by two segments of the rope, so effort = Load/2.
