Simple machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force.[2] In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force.[3] A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. They can be used to increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the force. The ratio of the output to the input force is called the mechanical advantage. Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines which were defined by Renaissance scientists:[4]

British Library: Beowulf - read and listen - 0 views

  •  
    Includes audio of someone reading the original Beowulf.... "This exercise will show you how English was written and spoken a thousand years ago. At first the words may seem completely unfamiliar. But, look closely, and you'll find plenty of links to the modern English of today. This passage is from the epic tale of Beowulf, a tale told around winter fires on long evenings in Britain in the Dark Ages. The manuscript shown here is 1000 years old; blackened edges to the pages are the result of a fire in the Cotton Library in 1731. But the story of Beowulf is 2 or perhaps 3 centuries older."
