  2. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of the weight of the load on the ramp to the force required to pull it up the ramp. If energy is not dissipated or stored in the movement of the load, then this mechanical advantage can be computed from the dimensions of the ramp.

  3. Mechanical advantage device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage_device

    Consider lifting a weight with rope and pulleys. A rope looped through a pulley attached to a fixed spot, e.g. a barn roof rafter, and attached to the weight is called a single pulley. It has a mechanical advantage (MA) = 1 (assuming frictionless bearings in the pulley), moving no mechanical advantage (or disadvantage) however advantageous the ...

  4. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The lever is a movable bar that pivots on a fulcrum attached to or positioned on or across a fixed point. The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or pivot. The location of the fulcrum determines a lever's class. Where a lever rotates continuously, it functions as a rotary second-class lever.

  5. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    Engraving from an 1824 mechanics magazine illustrating Archimedes's statement that given a place to stand, with a lever a person could move the Earth. The idea of a simple machine originated with the Greek philosopher Archimedes around the 3rd century BC, who studied the Archimedean simple machines: lever, pulley, and screw.

  6. ACN-PCN method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACN-PCN_method

    The ACN, a number that expresses the relative effect on an airplane of a given weight on a pavement structure for a specified standard subgrade strength; The PCN, a number (and series of letters) representing the pavement bearing strength (on the same scale as ACN) of a given pavement section (runway, taxiway, apron) for unrestricted operations.

  7. Compound lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_lever

    A lever arm uses the fulcrum to lift the load using and intensifying an applied force.In practice, conditions may prevent the use of a single lever to accomplish the desired result, [1] e.g., a restricted space, the inconvenient location of the point of delivery of the resultant force, or the prohibitive length of the lever arm needed.

  8. Car ramp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_ramp

    A car ramp is a structure or device used to raise an automobile from the ground in order to access its undercarriage. [1] [2] An alternative method to using a jack or jack stands. Car ramps are simple to use and relatively inexpensive. Car ramps also offer safety for mechanics by providing vehicle stability during car maintenance and repairs. [3]

  9. Wheelchair ramp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelchair_ramp

    For example, a 20-inch (510 mm) rise requires a minimum of 20 feet (6.10 m) in length of ramp. Additionally, amps can be as long as needed but ADA limits the longest single span of ramp, prior to a rest or turn platform, to 30 feet (9.14 m). [2] [3] Residential Applications usually are not required to meet ADA standards (ADA is a commercial code).
