Simple and Compound
Machines
What are Simple Machines?
• A device that allows work to be performed
with less effort
• A device with few or no moving parts
• A device that makes work easier by
changing force, distance, or by changing the
direction of the force

What are Compound Machines?
Two or more simple machines working
together to make the work easier
The 6 Simple Machines
Lever
A rigid bar used to exert a pressure or
sustain a weight by pivoting on its fulcrum
Parts of a Lever
If the fulcrum is located at the midpoint of the
lever arm and the effort is equal to the load, then
the lever will be perfectly balanced.

Lever Arm
Effort
Load
Fulcrum
Types of Levers

You can identify the different types of levers
by the middle component.
Can you identify each type of lever on the next slide?
Examples of Levers
Wheel & Axle

A wheel is a lever arm that is fixed to a
shaft, which is called an axle.
The wheel and axle move together as a
simple lever to lift or to move an item by
rolling.
Examples of Wheel & Axles
Pulleys
A grooved wheel around
which a rope, belt, or
chain passes
Used to change the
direction or magnitude of
a force
Examples of Pulleys
Pulley Systems
Inclined Plane

Flat surface set at an angle or incline
Most common inclined plane is a ramp
Able to lift objects by pushing or pulling the
load
Examples of Inclined Planes
Wedge
Functions as a moving inclined plane
Tapers to a thin edge and is used for splitting or
for tightening by being driven into something
Examples of Wedges

Almost all cutting
tools make use of
the wedge.
Screw
An inclined plane wrapped
around a cylinder, forming
the path and pitch
Pitch is the distance
between two threads
A screw is used as a threaded fastener.
It changes rotary motion to linear force.
Examples of Screws
What Kind of Simple
Machine Is This?
Pulley

Lever

Wedge

Screw

Wheel and Axle

Inclined Plane
Compound Machines
• Compound machines consist of two or
more simple machines put together.
• Most devices are compound machines.
• They can do more difficult jobs because
their mechanical advantage is greater.
What two simple machines are
in scissors?

Editor's Notes

  1. First Class = See-saw, scissors, fingernail clipper arm Second Class = wheelbarrow, nut cracker Third Class = fingernail clipper clipping mechanism, tweezers
  2. Fixed Pulley – Does not rise or fall with the load that is being moved Movable Pulley – Rises and falls with the load that is being moved Block and Tackle – Two or more pulleys used in combination
  3. Bicycle – lever (brake handles), wheel and axle (wheels and pedals), screw (seat adjustment) Shovel – lever, wedge Wheel barrow – 2nd class lever, wheel and axle Jack stand – wheel and axle, screw Pencil sharpener – wheel & axle, wedge
