This video goes over the different ways to calculate the mechanical advantage of a simple machine. The example goes over an example using a lever as the simple machine.
Whoa !!! thanks man ...I was just trying to understand this all semester and it's my final exam tmrw and I had just wasted all day for this stupid lesson but now I understand how simple it is 😅😅
@@MrLeavittScience oh wow over 6 years ago - didn't notice the date. Some things are timeless, like mutton chops. I like but they are only reserved for the Bold.
My suggestion is to fill in the formula, obey the order of operations, hold on, and follow your mathematical heart. It takes some practice...which brings confidence...which is what you need. X means multiply, / means divide. ALGEBRA FOR THE WIN!!
Ok I think I get it. If I wanted a mechanical advantage of 5, and I have a 6m stick, and I push down on one end of the stick with 10N of force, then I need to place the fulcrum at the 4.8m mark, and the result will be that I lift 50N of force. I guess distance is involved too but not sure how-pushing a lever down results in rotational angle and that's where I get lost.
You are not stupid but not understanding,That's a huge difference,That's why I'm also watching this video and it doesn't mean I'm stupid. Love yourself,believe in yourself and respect your self.
make sure to balance your lever in case you make it very big. i can stand up a big wooden pillar into the air without effort to do so or a pillar of stone for that matter. just learn the power of balance and anythings possible. by the way you can get free energy from this as well if you do some mechanical switching. not that you are clever enough to figure this out anyway. there will be a displacement of linear distance then but that is of very low energy.
Thanks. My daughter missed this teaching (in Grade 8), and I’ve watched 3 demos, and yours is clearest. So thanks! And boy would I have loved to to hang out with Bowie, too - albeit not in his drugs and sexcapades days! But he was one of the most insightful and intelligent people out there, and a true artist and legend. He was often far ahead of his time - such as when he took MTV to task for not playing Black artists, or when he suggested the evils to come from social media and the digital world. At least I got the chance to see him live 3 times. But never enough. There’s nobody else out there like him, or like Prince, another true artist that we’ve lost. So far, my hope is with Bruno Mars, the Weekend, and maybe Harry Styles to fill some of what the music world has lost. Who are you seeing with that potential?
someone help! If the load is five time heavier then effort but the fulcrum is placed 1 meter away from the load (on a four meter plank) the ratio from effort arm and effort length is different then force load and force effort, so wouldnt the mechanical advantage change? like say i the video the bigger guy was 50 pounds and the small was 10, but the fulcrum was placed one meter away from the big guy, so the ratios would be 1:5 and 1:4 and the MA would be different.
Chloe Seljak if you change the load to a ratio of 5:1 then the distance in order to balance would be the same. but when you change that distance, yes your MA will also change. I should have been more clear on the whole need to balance the lever thing thang.
@@MrLeavittScience They're asking for the resistance distance. If I can figure out the equation I can solve the problem. I just don't know how to rearrange the equation. And the other one is asking for effort distance. I understand how to do the mechanical advantage ones just not how to rearrange ronfind the other things. My teacher described stuff as output force/input force = input distance/output distance. I'm just having trouble figuring out what to fill in.
@@atlas3231 I hear you. If I understand your teacher right then we have the same formulas, just said differently. Let me try to clarify things for you. Output Force = Load Force Input Force = Effort Force. Input Distance = Effort Arm (or distance from the input/effort to the fulcrum) Output Distance = Load Arm (or distance from the output/load to the fulcrum) At around the 4:00 minute mark of my video I have my formulas and a drawing that is exactly what your teacher told you. I can understand how you may be a bit more confused while watching this video because the language sounds so different. Maybe this can help you.
Freshmans in high school where you at? My science teacher is... I don't get anything he teaches and I got the worst test grade of my life in his class.

Amazing dude... I was searching for this answer.... Good presentation... Perfect
Thank you very much for this video ! I was really struggling in my class, this helped a lot.
Thanks for the clear explanation, brother!
Thanks for breaking it down for us. Great video
dude you explained this soooooo well thank you from canada!
This is so helpful, gooood job
Whoa !!! thanks man ...I was just trying to understand this all semester and it's my final exam tmrw and I had just wasted all day for this stupid lesson but now I understand how simple it is 😅😅
congrats, your video is being shown in classrooms at school! (or at least, at my school.)
EVERYONES SCHOOL
Thanks lmao....i have an assignment due in 1hr and i haven't started, I was supposed to start 1 week ago...
THANKS I UNDERSTOOD VERY WELL
I like this vid its cool and not too long
finally learned this.thank you
wow this really helped
tysm i needed this alot
THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOUUUUU
Sorry leavitt but you can't hang out with David Bowie anymore.
SUIIIII GUESS WHO IS PASSING HIS TEST TOMORROW
check number 3 off your bucket list because you did it
That's all fine, and you had my hopes up. But what if the 3x is on the 3/4 side? Basically what is the math for unbalanced?
I understood everything very easily... Thank you vermuch. y
Thank you so much
great vid and those side burns are better that wolverines
I too love hugging tropical plants. But seriously Thank you.
You are so welcome!
This helped me a lot with my homework Thank you from Iraq 🤍🌸
thanks
BRO.. lol.. that was a good opening 🤣
I miss my chops and that plant is so huge now. Thanks though.

@@ChronicKPOP Your words are like poetry that have shaken my soul. Thank you.
I like this video👍
Thanks a lot sir
This example helped me a lot
I'm always glad when my stuff still helps. ;)
The only part I’m confused it that idk when to divide or multiply

Please do many more videos related to mechanical field

Very interesting video.
It really helped me out by explaining about mechanical advantages.
I think your videos trending for schools
This saved me on my asvab 😩😩
I liked the video
i’m so stupid that this still confuses me
i now hooge brain lul
No. This guy has confused it more with his shit handwriting
@@dereksmallsuk its not even that hard
@@slashg2338 Rub it a bit more.

Who are you seeing with that potential?
Good teaching
Thanks
omg i though i was an idiot but i actually got it
thank youuuu
them side burns tho
i know right
he should try shaving
how am i still confused
Nice 🙂
Nice work, Mr. Leavitt!
that plant is very tropical :)
I like the pig profile picture
Leavitt is lit
Intro is unmatched
😎 Cool
Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

You are most welcome. I'm glad these still help.
I don't think you will be able to hang out with David Bowie anymore...
who else has to watch this for tech ed
me
Me.
Physical Science
Kinesiology
I started to get the actual mechanical advantage but I have other homework problems that are different and I don't understand at all
Are they mechanical advantage problems? Is there a way I can help?

hope he got to hang out with david bowie before 2016
Output over input and no units
What is the input and the output
Mechanical advantage =output over input
Youll learn it in grade 8
thank you I now hooge brain lul
hi my class who is seeing this rn farrington high school
I didn't understand this.
loaaaaad lol his accent lowd
nvm
Hey to everyone who’s watching this for hw
I want to watch this for homework. I miss my burns.
@@MrLeavittScience never gonna give you up
@@MrLeavittScience never gonna say goodbye
this guys a hippy
eyyyy yo we for sur elove
I see you 9.4
you, sir, look like james rolfe with sideburns. don't read too deep into that, just pointing that out.
Is that good?
Is it just me or anybody else also here for learning MA (moving average) instead of MA (mechanical advantage). I think I'm in the wrong class.
....
Too late for Bowie
Freshmans in high school where you at? My science teacher is... I don't get anything he teaches and I got the worst test grade of my life in his class.
Bummer. I hoped this helped at least.
seconds 12-13 police siren! i think they came for plant abuse lol either way hes in troubel
Bro just write full words im forgetfull
I think I'm just stupid
start was kinda cringy but he's actually pretty helpful
