Answer the following questions. How did the actual mechanical advantage value compare to the ideal mechanical advantage? The AMA value is usually lower than the IMA but for two parts in our table that’s not the case. For the first class lever, position 1) the AMA is bigger by .13 than the IMA which is 1. For the second class lever, position 3) the AMA is .25 bigger than the IMA which is 4. I think this happened because we might have not positioned the meter stick correctly on the fulcrum and/or the spring scale on the stick to lift the load. What did you notice about the input needed to balance the lever when you increase the length of the effort arm (distance between input force and fulcrum)? I notice that when i increase the length
The specimen ends were not thick or had moving wedge grips to keep it secure in the holders of the servo-hydraulic load frame. The movement of the specimen in the machine causes some of the data to be an inaccuracy. Also, the transverse strain causes issues with the strain gages that are called transverse sensitivity. The transverse sensitivity affects the accuracy of the data that is being collected for the transverse strain more than the longitudinal strain. This is greatly seen in the percent difference in the strain values such as in one case the Longitudinal strain was .4% while the transverse strain was 30%. Another issue with the strain gages was that if the strain gages weren’t properly placed on the specimen the data accuracy would
than they would at their natural length. This means that the muscle fibers will generate less tension with each
Henri Bergson believes “mechanical inelasticity” (Bergson ) is essential to laughter. In Chaplin’s movie Modern Times, there are many illustrations of such technique that not only composes humorous but also contribute to its theme—capitalists exploit low social status workers.After giving the very basic elements of laughter:—lack of emotions, connection to human traits, relationship to social context —Bergson introduces mechanical inelasticity as the main cause of his main idea regard to laughter. Inelasticity is rigidness. When people are insensitive to changes and remains the last state of their bodies, their bodies are lack of elasticity. The example provided by Bergson is when someone falls, the person may fall because he or she fails to
Repeat this at the same setting 1 more time to find an average. At the same angle, choose a second setting of force and repeat the process. Follow this procedure using different angles.
The Steel Plow created by John Deere had the greatest impact on the growth of the west, it is used to break up tough soil without soil getting stuck to it. This plow was known to help the westward expansion making it easier to grow crops, which helps produce food, helping the population to grow. The plow helped to cut furrows through thicker soils. Without the invention of steel plows farmers may not have been able to cut through the thicker soils of the west, therefore the expansion of the west may not have been possible.
Improve sit and reach value by 3 inches (33% increase from 9 to 12 inch reach)
1. What happens to the passive force as the muscle length is increased from 50mm to 100mm?
In the elbow, a third-class lever, the ____ is between the ____ and the resistance
What effect does the length of the inclined plane have on the work input of the simple machine?
The further the muscle is stretched the bigger the force it exerts. This is a linear effect.
Below are two tables in which I have recorded the data which I obtained during the experiment. The first table reflects the Relationship between the deflection/flexion of the cantilever and the mass of the load and the second table reflects the relationship between the flexion of the cantilever and the length of the cantilever.
The beam was loaded the mid-length in 2.745 lbs. increments up to 6.745 lbs. The change in clearance of every load step was measured and data was recorded.
We’ve all heard about “rigged systems” during the 2016 presidential campaign, but did you ever consider the possibility that a rigged system could reduce your retirement benefit? I didn’t think so, but quickly learned that all systems are not fair and just!
The first class lever is where the force and resistance is located between the fulcrum. An example of a first class lever is a seesaw. An example of a first class lever in the human body is the joint found between the skull and the atlas vertebrae of the spine. The second class lever has resistance force distributed between the axis and fulcrum. A wheel barrow or luggage with wheels on the bottom are examples of a second class lever. An example of a second class lever in the human body is located in the lower leg when someone stands on the tiptoes. The third class lever has the effort force in between the resistance force and the fulcrum. An example of a third class lever is an arm lifting a weight or a baseball bat as it swings to hit a ball.
We tried to fix our mistake and it was fine. We were able to fix our mistake and continue the experiment. We had fun in balancing the force table and computing for the resultant by using component method and polygon method. The experiment gave us a preparation on how to solve certain situation that may happen in our lives.
