Practical Engineering - Friday, 4th Period
“Good afternoon,” Goose nodded once it was time to begin the class, “this week we’re going to cover the six simple machines used in engineering - these are the wedge, wheel and axel, lever, inclined plane and pulley,”
“The wedge can be used to separate two portions of an object and examples of these included a shovel, a knife or an axe,” he continued, “the wheel and axel is a type of machine that operates by using mechanical advantage to make tasks easier, examples of the wheel and axel include the bicycle, a windmill and an analog clock,”
“The lever is a rigid body that is capable of rotating on a point on intensely and examples of this include a seesaw, pliers and a hammer,” he went on, “the inclined plane consists of a sloping surface and is used for raising heavy bodies such as a staircase or a sloping ramp, the screw is an inclined plane around a cylinder and finally the pulley is a wheel that is carried by a flexible rope,” he concluded.
“This week we’re going to be experimenting with pulleys,” Goose told them, “and we’ll have a look at building our own pulley,”
