22. CRCT Preparation Chapter 8 11. Jenna is responsible for moving pianos for the Augusta Symphony. What are two simple machines that Jenna and her crew could use to move a piano from the stage in the concert hall onto a high outdoor stage? Explain how each machine would help make moving the piano easier.

23. CRCT Preparation Chapter 8 11. Answer – An inclined plane and a block and tackle could be used. The inclined plane would reduce the input force needed for moving the piano into a truck or onto a stage, making it easier to move the piano. However, the piano would have to be pushed a longer distance than the height of the stage or truck. The block and tackle would multiply the input force by 4 (or more), making it possible to lift the piano with less effort. However, the rope would have to be pulled four times farther than the height of the stage or truck bed.

24. CRCT Preparation Chapter 8 12. Jeremy is using a hose and a sprinkler to water the lawn. What simple machines is he using, and how do these machines make the job easier?

25. CRCT Preparation Chapter 8 12. Answer – A screw and a wheel and axle are being used. Screws allow the faucet and hose and sprinkler and hose to be attached to each other easily. A wheel and axle on the faucet allows the water to be turned on easily.
