a. Stapler b. Broom c. Cloth clip d. Wheel barrow
5. Which of the following is an example of a first-class lever?
a. Plier b. Tongs c. Pulley d. Stapler
II. FILL IN THE BLANKS WITH THE CORRECT WORDS:-
1. A ____________(pulley/ wedge) changes the direction of force applied
2. __________________ (Load/ Effort) is the object on which work is done.
3. A scissor and ______________ (wheelbarrow/ crow bar) are examples of first-class
levers.
4. A grooved wheel with a chain or rope around it is called a __________(wheel and
axle/ pulley)
5. ______________ (Stapler/ Cloth clip) is an example of third-class lever.
III. WRITE TRUE OR FALSE:-
1. Force can move a stationary object. True
2. An apple can be separated into two pieces using a wedge. True
3. Sewing machine is an example of a simple machine. False
4. Wheel and axle rotates to lift heavy things. True
5. All simple machines are levers. False
IV. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:-
1. Which simple machine does your arm work like? Draw a labelled diagram to
explain your answer.

Ans: Our arm works like a third class lever. The palms holding the object is the LOAD
area, the elbow is the FULCRUM and the arm muscles apply the EFFORT

2. You must have come across spiral staircases in buildings. What is their advantage?

Ans: Spiral stair cases save space and are also modern designs of interior designing.
Ready to fix kits are available for this. It also reduces the risk or danger of falling

WEDGE SCREW WHEEL AND AXLE

VI. PICTURE-BASED QUESTION:-

Look at the given picture and answer the following questions:-
A. Identify the object .( PLIER)
B. Mark the positions of load, effort and fulcrum on this E
picture. F
C. Which type of lever is this and why? FIRST CLASS
LEVER because fulcrum is in the middle of load and
effort

VII. THINK AND ANSWER:-


1. Why do hospitals and railway stations have sloping ramps along with stairs?

Ans: In Science, Work is said to be done when an object is moved from one place to
another in the direction of force applied. Here the wall has not moved in the direction
of applied force and therefore work is not done.

3. Why machine parts are oiled?

Ans: When machines are not in use for a long time the friction between their parts
increases and the movements will be harder. To lubricate the machine and make it work
smoothly we use oil in machine parts.
