Carl is applying 200 N of force to push a wheelbarrow up a ramp. If the ramp is 6 m long and allows him to roll the wheelbarrow to a height of 1.5 m, what is the mechanical advantage of the ramp? How much force would Carl need to apply if he were not using the ramp? How much force would Waylon need to apply in order to lift a 375 N weight, using the pulley shown? How much rope would he need to pull out in order to raise the weight 4 m? Using the 3 pulleys shown below, how much force would Ned need to apply to each to lift a 400 N weight? Why wouldn’t he just always use the one which requires the least force? In the diagram below, the inclined plane is 5 m long and 2 m high. The wheel and axle have radii of 25 inches and 10 inches respectively. How much force would be required to move the weight up the inclined plane? (assume no friction) How much work is being done by the machine? Paul used the setup on the right (called a Bosun’s Chair) to lift himself up to a higher position at his construction site. What is wrong with the way Paul has the chair set up? What would need to be done in order for the setup to work properly? Compare and contrast the operation of the 2 pulleys shown above (1 similarity and 1 difference). If they performed the same operation, would they be doing the same amount of work? Large water wheels were often used in the past to accomplish such tasks as grinding grain and cutting lumber in lumber mills. Pick one of these tasks, and draw a simple diagram showing how the motion of the water used simple machines to accomplish the task. Steamboats required huge wheels to produce the mechanical advantage necessary to turn the rudder. If the wheel in the picture has a diameter of 3 m, and is attached to an axle with a diameter of .5 m, what mechanical advantage would be produced? If the pilot applies 500 N of force to produce one complete revolution of the wheel (10 m), how much force was produced and how much work was done? What is the total m
