Work is defined as moving a Load over a Distance.
Work is defined as moving a Load over a Distance.
Work=Force x Distance
Simple machines make tasks easier by changing the amount of the force and distance traveled by the Effort to provide the force and distance needed for the Load.

Work of the Effort and the Work of the Load remain the same as shown in the equation below.
Work of the Effort and the Work of the Load remain the same as shown in the equation below.
Work(in)=Work(out)
Work(Effort)=Work (Load)
Force(Effort) x Distance(Effort)=Force(Load) x Distance(Load)
Example:
Example:
If you had to move a force of 10,000 pounds a distance of 10 feet.
If you had to move a force of 10,000 pounds a distance of 10 feet.
The amount of work would be 100,000 pound-feet.
The amount of work would be 100,000 pound-feet.
This amount of force is impossible to move by one normal person unless using a simple machine.
This amount of force is impossible to move by one normal person unless using a simple machine.
Work(Effort)=Work(Load)
100,000 pounds-feet = 100,000 pounds-feet
50 pounds x 2000 feet= 10,000 pounds x 10 feet
In this a equation moving 50 pounds a distance of 2000 feet will allow you to move a 10,000 pound Load a distance of 10 feet using a simple machine.
You cannot change the amount of Work needed to be done, but simple machines allow you can change the amount of Force (Effort) and the Distance (Effort ) it travels to move a another Force (Load) it's distance to travel.
