प्रश्न
Answer the following in short.
Explain the various functions that a machine can perform.
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: hi 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.
