  2. Compound lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_lever

    Compound levers can be constructed from first, second and/or third-order levers. In all types of compound lever, the rule is that force multiplied by the force arm equals the weight multiplied by the weight arm. The output from one lever becomes the input for the next lever in the system, and so the advantage is magnified.

  3. Lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever

    The lever is operated by applying an input force F A at a point A located by the coordinate vector r A on the bar. The lever then exerts an output force F B at the point B located by r B. The rotation of the lever about the fulcrum P is defined by the rotation angle θ in radians. Archimedes lever, Engraving from Mechanics Magazine, published ...

  4. Second-order logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_logic

    The second-order logic without these restrictions is sometimes called full second-order logic to distinguish it from the monadic version. Monadic second-order logic is particularly used in the context of Courcelle's theorem, an algorithmic meta-theorem in graph theory. The MSO theory of the complete infinite binary tree is decidable.

  7. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    For example, a bench vise consists of a lever (the vise's handle) in series with a screw, and a simple gear train consists of a number of gears (wheels and axles) connected in series. The mechanical advantage of a compound machine is the ratio of the output force exerted by the last machine in the series divided by the input force applied to ...

    Crank and slotted lever Quick Return mechanism (used in shapers) Fixed piston mechanism (used in hand pumps) Two revolute joints and two prismatic joints: It is denoted as PRRP, [2] and is constructed by connected two sliders with a coupler link. The doubler slider refers to all arrangements in this type. Examples of 2R2P linkages include:

  9. Highfield lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highfield_lever

    A basic Highfield lever. A Highfield lever is a lever device which allows tension to be rapidly set up in a wire and equally rapidly released to the required extent. It is frequently used in sailing boats where tension in some part of the rigging needs to be adjusted to a pre-set amount as the wind impinges on one side of the sails or the other.
