Measure the distance the weight must move when placed at toe end, while the wheel is making one-half a revolution. Measure the distance the weight moves, when placed at the heel end of the pedal while the driving wheel is making one-half a revolution. From the observations how will one calculate the amount of work one does to cause the driving wheel to make a complete revolution? Read paragraphs 13, 15, 16 and 17 in the textbook. Calculate the work put forth for case a, band c. Observe how many stitches are made while the driving wheel is making one revolution. Observe how many stitches are necessary to sew an inch of material. Calculate how much work is necessary to sew a yard in length when no cloth is under the presser foot, then when one thickness, and finally when two thicknesses of cloth are imder the presser foot. The following form is suggested for recording your results; use it or what is better make one for yourself. Should the distance between the individual observations be the same size as that between the series of observations and the series of calculations?
