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






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






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






4. Movement in a straight line.






5. Measurement for work






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






7. 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.






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






9. A combo of several pulleys working together.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






18. 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.






19. The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.






20. The energy of motion.






21. The science of designing gone or work environments that best suit the human body in it various dimensions.






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






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






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






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






26. 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.






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






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






29. The that has a handle because of a motoe or person turning it.






30. A machine used for raising or moving liquids.






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






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






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






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






35. A push or pull on an object.






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






37. The results of the operation of any system.






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






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






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






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






42. A way to measure stuff.






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






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






45. Stored energy






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






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






48. 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.






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






50. Work= force x distance
