    Class 3 Lever Effort Force Calculation

    Uploaded by

    Venkateswaran venkateswaran
    The document calculates the effort force of a class 3 lever system. It provides details of the masses, distances, and forces involved. The effort force is calculated to be 34.34N using an equation that takes the load forces, distances from the fulcrum, and distance of the effort from the fulcrum. A class 3 lever has the effort between the load and fulcrum, with both effort and load forces acting in the same direction.

    EFFORT FORCE OF CLASS 3 LEVER CALCULATION

    DESCRIPTION RESULT Unit

    Effort Force Fe 34.34 N

    Load Force A FlA 19.62 N

    Load Force B FlB 29.43 N

    Mass A m 2 kg

    Mass B m 3 kg

    Gravity g 9.81 m/s2

    Force A's distance from Fulcurm dlA 2 m

    Force B's distance from Fulcurm dlB 1 m

    Distance from effort force to fulcrum in meter de 2 m

    The moment action on both sides of the lever is equal and can be expressed as
    Equation Fe = (FlA dlA + FlB dlB ) / de
    FlA =A*g
    FlB =B*g
    dlA = Force A's distance from Fulcurm
    dlB = Force B's distance from Fulcurm
    de = distance from effort force to fulcrum in meter

    g = acceleration due gravity (9.81 m/s2)

    Law:
    Simple machines are six basic mechanical device.
    They are elementary mechanisms that amplify the force to move objects.
    The mechanical advantage is the ratio between the output force and the input force:
    MA = output force / input force.

    distinguish three kinds of levers, as shown in the picture and Each of them is characterized by the
    following:
    Effort - simply the point where you apply the input force;
    Fulcrum - the point that remains stationary;
    Resistance - the load;
    Motion - the direction of motion after the force has been applied.
    The mechanical advantage of a lever is calculated according to the formula:
    The mechanical advantage is the ratio between the output force and the input force:
    MA = output force / input force.

    The mechanical advantage of a lever is calculated according to the formula:
    MA = effort arm / load arm
    The effort arm is the distance between the point of effort and the fulcrum;
    load arm is the distance between the point of resistance and the fulcrum.
    There are 3 class of levers.
    Class 1 has the fulcrum placed between the effort and load. Class 2 has the load between the effort and
    the fulcrum. Class 3 has the effort between the load and the fulcrum.
    Class 1 lever:
    A Class 1 lever has the fulcrum placed between the effort and load. The movement of the load is in the
    opposite direction of the movement of the effort. This is the most common lever configuration.
    The effort in a class 1 lever is in one direction, and the load moves in the opposite direction.
    Class 2 Lever:
    A Class 2 lever has the load between the effort and the fulcrum. In this type of lever, the movement of the
    load is in the same direction as that of the effort. Note that the length of the effort arm goes all the way to
    the fulcrum and is always greater than the length of the load arm in a class 2 lever.
    Class 3 Lever:
    A Class 3 lever has the effort between the load and the fulcrum. Both the effort and load are in the same
    direction. Note that the length of the load arm goes all the way to the fulcrum and is always greater than
    the length of the effort arm in a Class 3 lever. Also, load in a Class 3 lever moves in the same direction as
    the effort.
