| A lever with the fulcrum located at the end of the bar can have either a __________-_________ lever of a ____________-_____________ lever. | Two; second-class; third class
🗑
|
||||
| When using a first-class lever, the amount of weight or force and the _______________ fromthe fulcrum can be varied according to the need. | Distance
🗑
|
||||
| In order to have a balanced state with a first-class lever, the___________ on one side of the fulcrum times the distance from the ____________ on that side must equal the ____________ on the other side multiplied by its__________ from the fulcrum. | weight; fulcrum; weight; distance
🗑
|
||||
| if a maintenance mechanic desires to lift a 200 pound generator off the ground using a lever as the lifting device, he must place a fulcrum under the lever, If a fulcrum is placed three feet from the end of the liver lifting the generator, and the leveris | 120 pounds; exactly 120 pounds would only balance the lever
🗑
|
||||
| Second-class levers always have the load attached between the ___________ and the __________. | Fulcrum; applied force
🗑
|
||||
| Second-class levers are normally employed to provide a mechanical _____________ when attempting to lift a load. | advantage
🗑
|
||||
| After attaching a load to a second-class lever, you find you have sufficient force to lift the load, but cannot raise the load high enough to get a dolly under it. To correct this situation, you should move the load____________ toward the __________. | Outward: applied force
🗑
|
||||
| After attaching a load to a second-class lever, you find you have sufficient force to lift the load, but cannot raise the load high enough to get a dolly under it. To correct this situation, you should move the load____________ toward the __________. | Outward: applied force
🗑
|
||||
| If a load weighing three pounds is attached on inch from the fulcrum of a six-inch second-class lever, how much force is required to lift the weight? | 0.5 pounds (3x1 = 3 and 0.5 x 6 = 3)
🗑
|
||||
| The applied force of a third-class lever can never be __________ than the force exerted by the load itself. | less
🗑
|
||||
| Third-class levers provide a mechanical advantage in that they can vary the __________ and ___________ that a load moves. | speed; distance
🗑
|
||||
| The greater the distance between the applied force and the fulcrum, the ___________ speed of movement the load will have. | less
🗑
|
||||
| The closer the applied force is to the fulcrum of a third-class lever, the ___________ the distance in travel of the load. | Greater
🗑
|
||||
| The steering Wheel of an automobile is a good example of a ______________ or _________-__________-___________ machine. | Crank; wheel and axle
🗑

||||
| The wheel-and-axle machine works much on the same principle as that of a _____________. | Lever
🗑

||||
| Torque is determined in a simple wheel-and-axle machine by Multiplying the __________ ______________ times the ______________ from the center of rotation. | radius; axle
🗑
|
||||
| gears can be used to ________ or ________ force, increase or decrease _______________, or change the _____________ or motion. | magnify; reduce; speed; direction
🗑
|
||||
| When a force is applied to the smaller of two gears, the resultant output speed will be _____________. | decreased
🗑
|
||||
| Dividing the number of teeth on the driver gear by the number of teeth on the driven gear will determine the multiplier for computing an increase of decrease in ______________. | speed
🗑
|
||||
| Dividing the number of teeth on the driven gear by the number of teeth on the driver gear will determine the multiplier for computing an increase or decrease in ___________________. | Touque or force
🗑
|
||||
| A particular gear arrangement that provides for a reduction in speed of applied force will have the effect of _____________ the amount of force applied. | increasing
🗑
|
||||
| A gear arrangement that provides for an increase between input and output force will also have the effect of ___________ the speed of the applied force. | Decreasing
🗑
|
||||
| Gears (do/do not) _________ need to be of different sizes to cause an increase of decrease in speed and / or force. | do
🗑
|
||||
| Gears (do/do not) __________ need to be of the same size to cause a change in direction of applied force. | Do not
🗑
