FLMS - Technology and Engineering
Across
- 1. a simple lifting machine consisting of a rope which unwinds from a wheel on to a cylindrical drum or shaft joined to the wheel to provide mechanical advantage
- 3. a place where, or a device through which, energy or information enters a system
- 5. a system of parts working together in a machine; a piece of machinery
- 9. the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots
- 10. a wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes. It acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is chiefly used to raise heavy weights
- 13. one of a set of toothed wheels that work together to alter the relation between the speed of a driving mechanism
- 15. a piece of wood, metal, or some other material having one thick end and tapering to a thin edge, that is driven between two objects or parts of an object to secure or separate them
- 18. the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass
- 19. the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures
- 20. the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry
Down
- 2. the use of largely automatic equipment in a system of manufacturing or other production process
- 4. a plane inclined at an angle to the horizontal
- 6. a place where power or information leaves a system
- 7. strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.
- 8. the art or activity of making three-dimensional models
- 11. used to join things together by being rotated so that it pierces wood or other material and is held tightly in place
- 12. the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another
- 14. a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is built or made
- 16. power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work machines
- 17. a rigid bar resting on a pivot, used to help move a heavy or firmly fixed load with one end when pressure is applied to the other
