What is the advantage of using the ramp? Investigate the difference between ideal and actual mechanical advantage.
First, calculate the ideal mechanical advantage and predict how much effort is actually needed to pull the box frame A to the top of the ramp. Record the mechanical advantage and your predictions on the worksheet.
Then test how much effort is needed by adding LEGO® bricks to the effort weight and calculate the actual mechanical advantage.
When designing a robot, sometimes we may want to build a fast robot that needs to get to its objective quickly. At other times, we may want a powerful robot. For instance, maybe the robot needs to push a heavy object, push another robot, or climb a steep hill. When it comes to a robotic arm, we might be trying to lift a heavy object slowly or lift a small object quickly.
However, we cannot have both speed and power. There is a trade-off here—if you increase one, you decrease the other. This trade-off is called the law of conservation of energy.
