A) Static uniformly distributed load B) Dynamic load C) Impact load D) Nonuniformly distributed load โœ” Ans - B) Dynamic Load A _ machine is a machine made of more than one simple machine. โœ” Ans - Compound A _ machine is a device for overcoming resistance at one point by applying force at some other point. โœ” Ans - Simple _ is the input force when calculating Mechanical Advantage. โœ” Ans - Effort _ or _ is the output force when calculating Mechanical Advantage. โœ” Ans - Load or Resistance _ _ is the ratio of force exerted by a machine to the force applied to it. โœ” Ans - Mechanical Advantage _ is a stress that produces and elongation of an elastic physical body. โœ” Ans - Tension _ is the process or result of becoming smaller or pressed together. โœ” Ans - Compression _ energy is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. โœ” Ans - Solar _ energy is the potential energy stored in the Nucleus of an Atom. โœ” Ans - Nuclear

The speed at which a gear rotates depends on the _ _ . โœ” Ans - Number of teeth. _ gears are used to connect gears that have shafts ( that aren't parallel to one another ) at different angles. โœ” Ans - Bevel When connected by a system of belts, pulleys can _ other pulleys. โœ” Ans - Drive How fast a pulley rotates depends on the 1) of the pulley in relation to the 1) _ of the pulley that's driving it. โœ” Ans - Diameter _ and _ mechanical advantage is the relationship between the radius of the wheel and the radius of the area to which force is being applied. โœ” Ans - Wheel and Axle The distance between the ridges of the spiral (on the screw of a vise) is called the _ of the thread. โœ” Ans - Pitch Larger pitches require _ force to rotate the handle than screws with smaller pitches do. โœ” Ans - More A _ _ uses nearly incompressible liquid, such as oil, to exert force iot move an object. โœ” Ans - Hydraulic Jack Forces always come in pairs, known as _ & _ forces. โœ” Ans - Action and Reaction Mathematical quantities that are used to describe the motion of objects can be divided into two categories. The quantity is either a _ or a _. โœ” Ans - Vector or a Scalar Normal atmospheric pressure is _ psi โœ” Ans - 14.
