To see the difference in this modern equipment and older equipment, conduct an Internet search for the term "steam shovel." One will typically see that the fulcrum on the much older steam shovel is positioned similarly to the modern tractor, but it uses pulleys and cables for mechanical advantage.
In sharp contrast to the coiled steel mainspring, the gas spring's effort comes at a point in the barrel where you don't have much mechanical advantage. So, gas-spring guns feel harder to cock than their actual effort implies.
Any mechanical advantage --whether it is a dirt bike or a mountain bike--shrinks the backcountry.
Most upper elementary students are familiar with the uses of ramps in their daily lives, which provides for rich exploration of foundational mathematical and scientific concepts (e.g., slope, work, mechanical advantage, etc.).
Varying mechanical advantage by changing the user's geometry (i.e., hand position on the levers), rather than the machine's geometry, allows the LFC drivetrain to be built from a lightweight, single-gear ratio chain drive made from bicycle components.
One of these, called mechanical advantage, measured how much force an animal can transfer to its bite.
Based on the wheel and axle principal, which is a modified form of the lever principal, the effort is applied to the circumference of a wheel which turns the axle so as to raise a weight, the grater the diameter of the wheel the more is the mechanical advantage. Hence each pound of pressure applied to the handle of the crossbar elevator is multiplied on an average 4 to 5 times depending upon the radius of the wheel, divided by the radius the axle.
The mechanical advantage of the ratchet wrench lever arm and the threaded shaft enable the unit to be operated at up to full line pressure of 600 to 800 PLI.
