Why is this so traveller’s bags have wheels?
Advertisements
उत्तर
A traveler's bag has wheels so that it can be dragged easily because of reduced friction between the ground and the wheel. Thus, the wheel, a simple machine, helps to decrease the effort to be applied to the load, which is a bag here.

A cook used a ‘fire tong pair’ of length 32 cm. to lift a piece of burning coal of mass 500 g. If he applies his effort at a distance of 8 cm from the fulcrum, what is his effort? Assume friction etc. to be absent. Also, obtain values of the M.A. and the V.R. of this ‘machine’.
A simple machine enables us to lift a load of 10,000 N by the application of an effort of 500 N. However, when the point of application of the effort moves through 2.5 m, the load gets raised through 10 cm only. What are the values of the:
