...manner at another point, is a machine. The simple machines or mechanical powers are six in number — the lever, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw. These are the elements of all machines, however complicated. See Mcch., Treat. II., Arts. 1—6. In...

...made. 1 he me' The simple machines, usually called mechanical powers, powers, are six in number, viz. the lever, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screws.0 — They are called mechanical powers, because they help us mechanically to raise weights,...

...SOMETIMES CALLED MECHANICAL POWERS. LESSON 185. There are usually reckoned six simple machines — the lever, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the screw, and the wedge. The force that raises a weight, or overcomes a resistance, is called the power....

...The body which receives motion from another, is called the weight. The mechanical powers are five, the Lever, the Wheel and Axle, the Pulley, the Inclined Plane, the Screw and the Wedge. LEVER. The lever is a bar, movable about a fixed point, called its fulcrum or...

...effected by the direct application of natural strength. They are usually accounted six in number; viz. the Lever, the Wheel and Axle, the Pulley, the Inclined Plane, the Wedge, and the Screw. The advantage gained by the use of the mechanical powers, does not consist in any increase of the quantum...
