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. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






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






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

9. The ability to do work.






10. A threaded shaft used to convert rotary movement to linear movement.






11. The distance in a strait line from the center of a circle to the circle circumference






12. Work= force x distance






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






14. The energy of motion.






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






16. The work done on a machine as the input force acts through the input distance






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






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






19. A machine used for raising or moving liquids.






20. Measurement for work






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






22. Movement in a straight line.






23. The force acting perpendicular to a certain surface area.






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






25. The part of a machine which contains two or more pieces arranged so that the motion of one compels the motion of the others.






26. A push or pull on an object.






27. The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member.






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






29. Something put into a system - such as resources - in order to achieve a result.






30. A way to measure stuff.






31. Stored energy






32. A common workplace disorder causing numbness and pain in the thumb and first three finger.






33. Circular movement.






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






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






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






37. A system in which a gas - such as air - transmits a force exerted on gas in an enclosed space.






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






39. 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.

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






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






44. A combo of several pulleys working together.






45. A small cogwheel that engages or is engaged by a larger cogwheel.






46. 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.






47. A twisting force.






48. The gear being turned buy the driver gear






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






50. A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts.
