Mechanical Systems 2

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A combo of several pulleys working together.






2. Movement in a straight line.






3. A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.






4. The energy of motion.






5. A machine consisting of two turning objects attached to each other at thier centers. One object to turn






6. A wheel with a grooved rim to guide a rope or chain that runs along the groove; used to transmit or change direction of force.






7. The gear being turned buy the driver gear






8. A swing back and forth at a regular rate.






9. A mechanical system that uses a liquid under pressure in a close system to raise heavy objects.






10. A twisting force.






11. Acts on a certain area.






12. A joint that allows connected shafts to spin freely while permitting a change in direction.






13. A combination of two or more gears used to transmit motion between two rotating shafts or between a shaft and a slide.






14. A device used to regulate the flow of a liquid in a hydraulic system.






15. Measurement for work






16. A rotating gear that meshes with a bar that has gear teeth along its length. Changes rotating motion into linear motion.






17. The realtioship between the speed of rotation of a smaller gear and a larger gear = number of driven gear teeth / Number of following gear teeth.






18. A pear- shaped disk with an off- center pivot point - used to change rotating motion into reciprocating motion.






19. The member of a pair of gears to which motion and power are transmitted by the other. The output gear.






20. A combination of fixed and movable pulleys - may be used to list very heavy or awkward loads.






21. The ratio of the force produced by a machine or system (the load) to the force applied to the machine or system.






22. The weight of an object that is is moved or lifted by a machine - or resistance to movement that a machine must overcome






23. A pivot pin near the outside edge of a wheel or disk that changes reciprocating motion into rotary motion.






24. Stored energy






25. A law stating that when pressuer is exerted on on part of a fluid - the same pressure is transmitted unchanged to all parts of the fluid - no matter what the shape of the container holding fluid. EX: water balloon.

26. The application of force that moves an object a certain distance.






27. A mechanical arrangement consisting of a toothed wheel driven by a short revolving cylinder bearing a screw thread.






28. A system having a boundary that separates it from it surroundings.






29. A machine consisting of a small cylinder - a crank or handle - on a cable. Winch can be used to lift or pull things






30. A push or pull on an object.






31. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






32. A machine used for raising or moving liquids.






33. A lever in which the load is between the fulcrum and the effort.






34. A rotating wheel- like device with teeth around the rim.






35. The point of the lever that does not move.






36. Circular movement.






37. The work done by a machine as the output force acts through the output distance






38. Energy is transferred from one plan to another - and no energy is changed or converted.






39. A way to measure stuff.






40. A lever in which the effort is applied between the fulcrum and the load.






41. Opposite in position - direction - order or effect.






42. The gear which transmits power and motion to the rest of the system. The input gear.






43. Work= force x distance






44. A secondary or subordinate system that is part if a larger system.






45. One of a pair of gears used to connect two shafts whose axes intersect.






46. A pulley supported by attachment to something that does not move - such as a ceiling - wall - or tree.






47. The ability to do work.






48. A gear with teeth that fits into the links of a chain.






49. The ratio of the useful work or energy provided by a machine or system with the actual work or energy supplied to the machine or system.






50. A machine consisting of a bar that is free to rotate around a fixed point - changing the amount of force that must be exerted to move an object.
