belts, cords, chains, or, as we shall see hereafter, by trainsof toothed wheels. 93. The Crank and Axle, or Windlass. This machine con- sists of an axle AP, and acrank B CD. The poweris applied to the crank-han-dle D C, and the resistanceto a rope wrapped aroundthe axle. The distance fromthe handle… … Fig. 88. 120 MECHANICS. The relation between the power and resistance, when inequilibrium, is the same as in the wheel and axle, exceptthat we substitute the crank-arm for the radius of the wheel. Hence, the power is to the resistance as the radius of theaxle is to the crank-arm. This machine is…
