I work in a Factory
Does your factory have large warehouses that contain heavy equipment?
i think so
I always wanted to work with heavy equipment, some heavy-duty vehicles
I wonder how heavy equipment functions
heavy equipment functions through the mechanical advantage of a simple machine
how interesting! Can you tell me more about simple machine please?
Simple machine
A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines that were defined by Renaissance scientists:
- Lever
- Wheel and axle
- Pulley
- Inclined plane
- Wedge
- Screw
A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force.
Heavy equipment
Heavy equipment or heavy machinery refers to heavy-duty vehicles, specially designed for executing construction tasks, most frequently ones involving earthwork operations or other large construction tasks. "Heavy equipment" usually comprises five equipment systems: implementation, traction, structure, power train, control and information. Heavy equipment has been used since at least the 1st century BCE when the ancient Roman engineer Vitruvius described a crane in De architectura when it was powered via human or animal labor. "Heavy equipment" functions through the mechanical advantage
