  2. Lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever

    If a and b are distances from the fulcrum to points A and B and the force F A applied to A is the input and the force F B applied at B is the output, the ratio of the velocities of points A and B is given by a/b, so the ratio of the output force to the input force, or mechanical advantage, is given by: = =.

  3. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    The output power of a motor is the product of the torque that the motor generates and the angular velocity of its output shaft. Likewise, the power dissipated in an electrical element of a circuit is the product of the current flowing through the element and of the voltage across the element. [1] [2]

  4. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device trades off input forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever.

  5. Mechanical amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_amplifier

    where F A is a force acting on point A on the rigid lever beam, F B is a force acting on point B on the rigid lever beam and a and b are the respective distances from points A and B to the pivot point. If F B is the output force and F A is the input force, then mechanical advantage MA is given by the ratio of output force to input force.

  6. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. The machine can increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the load.

  7. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    The mechanical advantage of a simple machine as defined as the ratio of the output force exerted on the load to the input force applied. The inclined plane the output load force is just the gravitational force of the load object on the plane, its weight . The input force is the force exerted on the object, parallel to the plane, to move it up ...

  8. Linear response function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_response_function

    This defines particularly the Kubo formula, which considers the general case that the "force" h(t) is a perturbation of the basic operator of the system, the Hamiltonian, ^ ^ (′) ^ (′) where ^ corresponds to a measurable quantity as input, while the output x(t) is the perturbation of the thermal expectation of another measurable quantity ^ ().
