Technology
Across
- 2. support around which a lever can move
- 5. used to calculate the mechanical advantage by using the effort arm and the load arm
- 6. moving parts in a machine that works together
- 8. the desired output of a lever or linkage that is moved
- 11. a mechanism made by connecting many levers together
- 13. a fixed or movable connection in a lever or linkage that allows force or motion to be directed where it is needed
- 14. the distance between the fulcrum and the point where the input effort is being applied
- 16. energy or movement that is a result of a machine doing work
- 18. a gear used to change rotational movement through 90degrees
- 19. part of a shaft that has one continuous groove in the form of a screw thread
- 20. a set of gear wheels found either at the bicycle's pedal or at the axle of the back wheel
Down
- 1. a gear with teeth like spurs on its edge
- 3. the distance between the fulcrum and the point where the output effort is being applied
- 4. when a gear wheel rotates one full turn around its own axle
- 7. energy or movement that is put into a machine
- 9. a straight measurement of a circle from one edge to the other edge through its centre
- 10. a bar that pivots around a fixed point
- 12. the desired input that starts or moves a lever or linkage
- 15. a straight measurement of a circle from its centre to its edge
- 17. gears and gearwheels used to change the speed of a turning or rotational, movement
