WHAT’S HAPPENING

If you are only using your ﬁngers, it can be diﬃcult to

apply enough force to loosen the anchor pin. It’s

easier with the anchor pin lever, because it puts the

lever principle at your disposal. Starting on page 37,

you will be learning about this fundamental

principle of physics and how you can put it to use.

anchor pin lever

YOU WILL NEED

1 Square frame

›

1 Red anchor pin

Anchor pin lever

HERE’S HOW

› Firmly press the red anchor pin into one of

the frame’s holes.

› Try using just your ﬁnger to pry the anchor

pin loose.

› Now try using the anchor pin lever to pry it

out (see picture).

exciting world of

mechanical engineering…

What Is Mechanical

Engineering?

Mechanical Engineering is all about designing and

testing machines that move or involve forces. These

machines can be anything from cars and airplanes

to robots and wind turbines. Mechanical engineers

use what they know about physics — like how

things move, how forces work, and how energy

flows — to build these machines and make sure

they work safely and efficiently. They follow the

engineering design process to plan, build, test, and

continually improve their projects. They must

balance factors like cost, time, materials, and

quality. It’s like being a problem-solving inventor

who uses science to create things that help people

and make the world better!

A simple experiment

to get you started

A lot of problems can be solved as long as

you have the right tools. The anchor pin

lever oﬀers you the advantage of a basic

principle of physics — the lever principle.
