प्रश्न
State two functions of a machine.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Various functions that a machine can perform are:
- Changing the direction of applied force – Example: When a flag is hoisted with the help of a pulley.
- Changing the magnitude of applied force – Example: Bottle opener multiplies the applied force and much less effort is required to open the cap.
- Applying force at a convenient point – Example: In a pair of scissors, the input force is applied at the handle of the scissors which cuts the paper at the other end of the blade.
- Changing the speed of an object – Example: While riding a bicycle, force is applied on pedals which multiplies the speed.
