Simple Machines

Simple Machines demystifies the physics behind levers, pulleys, and wheels, showcasing how these ingenious inventions amplify force and reduce effort. From the ancient pyramids to modern bicycles, these machines demonstrate the power of mechanical advantage.

The book illustrates how levers strategically use a fulcrum to multiply force, while pulleys alter force direction and wheels minimize friction for efficient movement. The book progresses from basic concepts of force, work, and energy to individual chapters on levers, pulleys, and wheels.

By incorporating diagrams, illustrations, and real-world examples, Simple Machines offers a practical, hands-on approach for students, hobbyists, and anyone curious about the science behind everyday objects. Readers will discover not only the theoretical framework but also the historical impact and practical applications of these essential engineering marvels.
