Across
- 2. when work is done, this is the force that the machine does
- 5. a more complicated machine that combines simple machines such that the output force of one becomes the input force of another
- 7. the benefit provided by a machine (output force/input force)
- 10. any device that makes work easier
- 11. effectiveness of a machine (output work/input work)
- 13. when work is done, this force is what you do
- 14. a simple machine made of two connected round objects that rotate about a common axis
Down
- 1. the fixed point that a lever pivots around
- 3. the most basic device for making work easier
- 4. the product of a force being applied over a certain distance (FXD)
- 6. a rigid bar that is free to pivot, or rotate, on a fixed point
- 8. a flat, sloped surface that allows you to exert your input distance (a wedge and screw are specific types)
- 9. the center point or line around which something rotates (spins)
- 12. a force that always lowers the efficiency of a machine
