Simple compound machine


For the Compound Machine project we combined two of our simple machines. We tied the rope of our Pulley to the end of the wheel and axel so every time we rotated the wheel and axel it would reel in the rope which would make the Pulley function as it's supposed to. Our creation did not get enough mechanical advantage so therefore it did not do very well. It was also different from other because it was the only one that use two machines while others used almost all of them, along making our machine there was some problems such as making others machines contribute and also finding where would be the best place to place or set our machines so we can get a good enough IMA but it failed. First we could figure it out how to make others machines contribute and second we did actually find away to make our machine give a little IMA but it wasn't good enough compare to others. 
The most difficult part was trying to figure out what two machines are good for each other meaning which are going to give us the best IMA.
