- 2. The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
- 6. The ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine. MA = F0 / Fi

- 8. An assembly of moving parts completing a complete functional motion.
- 10. A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.
- 12. A visual, mathematical, or three-dimensional representation in detail of an object or design, often smaller than the original.
- 14. A flat surface set at an angle used to help raise or lower objects.
- 15. A twisting force.
- 16. The ability to do work.
