Levers
reduce the
force
needed to get the same moment
Levers push one end down of a
lever
, and
rotation
around the pivot causes the other end to rise. This is the turning effect of a force.
Gears have
circular
clogs with
'teeth'
around the edges
Interlocked gears will rotate at different
speeds
, depending on the size. The larger the gear, the
slower
it spins.
Teeth interlock
with each other, causing both to turn as they're
linked.
A force applied to a
small
gear creates a
small
moment
