Mechanical+Energy+2

Simple machines all have a mechanical advantage that can be calculated after measuring input distance and output distance.

For your homework, you were asked to find simple machines in your home, sketch them, and measure the input and output distances.

For this entry, sketch the machine using OmniGraffle (then select it, File, Export, JPEG, Current Selection) and insert the picture into your Mechanical Energy GoogleDoc. Describe how you measured the input and output distances, and what you got when you calculated its mechanical advantage.
