Worksheet on simple machine contains various types of questions.
The important information will help us to the answer the questions given below.
Machine: A device, which makes a work easier to do.
Work: Doing a job with the help of energy.
Load: The resistance against any effort given by an object.
Lever: A simple machine with a fulcrum, load arm and effort arm.
Effort: The force applied to a machine to work.
Fulcrum: The pivot of a lever.
Effort arm: Portion between the point of effort
and the fulcrum of a lever.
Load arm: Portion between the point of load and the fulcrum of a lever.
Inclined plane: A slope to lift a load from a lower place to higher place reducing the effort required for the lifting.
Pulley: A simple machine made up of wheel to lift things up.
Wheel: A device, that can rotate freely around a central hub.
