Mechanical power
Across
- 2. A device used to measure the effort produced by a twisting or turning force. It is based on the principle that if an opposite force equals the effort produced by a spinning object, movement will cease.
- 5. A simple machine based on the principle of the inclined plane.
- 9. A simple machine that makes use of sloping surfaces.
- 13. A long, cylindrical piece of metal used to transfer mechanical energy in many types of machines.
- 15. A lever that has the load placed between the fulcrum and the input force.
- 16. A lever, a pulley, a wheel and axle, an inclined plan, a screw, or a wedge.
- 18. The amount of hp necessary to overcome the internal friction of an engine and other forms of frictional loss.
- 20. A quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
- 21. A rigid bar that rotates around one fixed point.
- 23. A vector quantity that includes both distance and direction.
Down
- 1. The ratio of the increase of force or distance by a machine, including energy lost through friction.
- 3. A vector quantity that includes speed and direction.
- 4. The amount of power available at the rear of the engine under normal conditions.
- 6. A simple machine consisting of a very long inclined plane wrapped around a shaft.
- 7. The fixed point around which a lever rotates.
- 8. A lever that has the fulcrum positioned between the input force and the load.
- 10. A solid disc that rotates around a center axis. It usually has a groove around the outside edge that allows ropes or belts to easily ride around them.
- 11. A specially shaped piece of metal used to support shafts and reduce friction between metal parts as they move past or revolve around each other.
- 12. A lever that has the input force positioned between the fulcrum and the load.
- 14. A mechanical device that connects the power source to the rest of the machine
- 17. A joint that allows connected shafts to spin freely, while permitting a change in direction.
- 19. A physical quantity specified by the magnitude of the quantity and expressed by a number or unit.
- 22. A large-diameter wheel and its small-diameter axle are attached to each other to move as one unit.
