force
I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.
In physics, work = force x distance.
Force times distance equals work.
Torque is calculated by multiplying a force by the distance from the fulcrum at which it acts.
Well, i'd say its both. depends on the case to specify when it is a force multiplier or a distance multiplier.
A pulley is a force multiplier. (it swaps force for distance).
Force Multiplier
force multiplier
Why are pulley force multipliers? Pulley are force multipliers because they expand the distance over which it operates.
force
A force multiplier increases the effort force and the mechanical advantage is larger than one (Which means it is easier to move a large load with a small effort). While the speed multiplier does not make the effort easier but makes the load move through a larger distance than the effort. The mechanical advantage of a speed multiplier is usually lower than 1.
a froce magnifier
Force multiplier. It an inclined plane so a smaller force is acting over a greater distance
A chisel is a type of machine called a wedge. A wedge is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and a thick end. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the sloping sides of the wedge apply force to the object, cutting/splitting it apart. A wedge makes work easier by increasing the force applied to the object, although it applies the force over a shorter distance. Another example of a wedge is a hammer.
Both. A small driving gear and a large driven gear is a force multiplier. Whilst a large driving gear and a small driven gear is a speed multiplier
