Zorluk: ZorLevers and Fulcrums

Match each real-world application of a lever to its correct mechanical configuration and primary mechanical advantage characteristic.

  • Using a wheelbarrow to transport heavy soilThe resistance is located between the pivot and the applied force, ensuring the required effort is always less than the load.
  • Swinging a baseball bat to hit a pitchThe applied force is located between the pivot and the resistance, sacrificing force multiplication to achieve greater speed at the load end.
  • Using a crowbar to pry open a heavy wooden crateThe pivot separates the applied force and the resistance, configured with a much longer effort arm to maximize the applied torque.
  • Measuring mass with a standard double-pan balance scaleThe pivot separates the applied force and the resistance with equal arm lengths, changing force direction without multiplying force.

Cevap

Wheelbarrow matches the configuration where resistance is in the middle (Class 2). Baseball bat matches the configuration where applied force is in the middle (Class 3). Crowbar matches the pivot-in-middle configuration with a long effort arm (Class 1, high torque). Balance scale matches the pivot-in-middle configuration with equal arms (Class 1, neutral torque).
Each tool's primary function dictates its lever configuration. Class 1 levers separate effort and resistance with a pivot (crowbar maximizes force; balance scale equalizes force). Class 2 levers place resistance in the middle to multiply force (wheelbarrow). Class 3 levers place effort in the middle to multiply speed and distance (baseball bat).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the mechanics of the wheelbarrow.
Identified that the wheel is the pivot, the load is in the center, and the handles receive the effort.
Determining the relative positions of the pivot, load, and effort confirms it is a Class 2 lever, which always reduces the effort force required.
2
Analyze the mechanics of the baseball bat.
Identified that the wrists act as the pivot, the arms apply force near the base, and the load is at the far end.
This confirms it is a Class 3 lever, which trades force for increased speed and distance at the resistance end.
3
Analyze the mechanics of the crowbar.
Identified that the pivot rests between the long handle (effort) and the short prying tip (resistance).
This confirms it is a Class 1 lever designed with a much longer effort arm to maximize the mechanical advantage and torque.
4
Analyze the mechanics of the double-pan balance scale.
Identified that the pivot is perfectly centered between the two pans.
This confirms it is a Class 1 lever with equal arm lengths, yielding a mechanical advantage of exactly 1.
