Which of the following is not a type of Structural Load? A) Rain load B) Live load C) Dead load D) Wind load โ Ans - A) Rain Load _ is speed in a particular direction โ Ans - Velocity What type of load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure? A) Nonuniformly distributed load B) Dynamic load C) Concentrated load D) Static uniformly distributed load โ Ans - A) Nonuniformly Distributed Load Which of the following is not a modulus of elasticity? A) Stretch modulus B) Bulk modulus C) Stress modulus D) Shear modulus โ Ans - C) Stress modulus The _ gear is the first gear in a gear train. โ Ans - Drive What is the efficiency of a machine that has a work input of 50 ft. lb. and a work output of 37.5 ft. lb.? A) 0.13% B) 13.33% C) 750% D) 75% โ Ans - D) 75% If the green box is 54 ft. from the fulcrum and a certain force applied 6 ft. from the fulcrum at the blue arrow balances the lever, what is the mechanical advantage?
D) 18 โ Ans - C) 9 What type of load varies with time or affects a structure that experiences a high degree of movement? A) Static uniformly distributed load B) Dynamic load C) Impact load D) Nonuniformly distributed load โ Ans - B) Dynamic Load A _ machine is a machine made of more than one simple machine. โ Ans - Compound A _ machine is a device for overcoming resistance at one point by applying force at some other point. โ Ans - Simple _ is the input force when calculating Mechanical Advantage. โ Ans - Effort _ or _ is the output force when calculating Mechanical Advantage. โ Ans - Load or Resistance _ _ is the ratio of force exerted by a machine to the force applied to it. โ Ans - Mechanical Advantage _ is a stress that produces and elongation of an elastic physical body. โ Ans - Tension _ is the process or result of becoming smaller or pressed together. โ Ans - Compression _ energy is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. โ Ans - Solar _ energy is the potential energy stored in the Nucleus of an Atom. โ Ans - Nuclear
The speed at which a gear rotates depends on the _ _ . โ Ans - Number of teeth. _ gears are used to connect gears that have shafts ( that aren't parallel to one another ) at different angles. โ Ans - Bevel When connected by a system of belts, pulleys can _ other pulleys. โ 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. โ 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. โ Ans - Wheel and Axle The distance between the ridges of the spiral (on the screw of a vise) is called the _ of the thread. โ Ans - Pitch Larger pitches require _ force to rotate the handle than screws with smaller pitches do. โ Ans - More A _ _ uses nearly incompressible liquid, such as oil, to exert force iot move an object. โ Ans - Hydraulic Jack Forces always come in pairs, known as _ & _ forces. โ 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 _. โ Ans - Vector or a Scalar Normal atmospheric pressure is _ psi โ Ans - 14.
