Across
- 4. A connection between two or more parts or components, allowing them to move relative to one another, such as a hinge or ball-and-socket joint.
- 8. A branch of engineering that involves the design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems, using principles of physics and materials science to solve engineering problems.
- 11. The branch of physics concerned with the motion of objects and the forces that cause or affect that motion. It includes statics, dynamics, and kinematics.
- 14. The distance between similar points on adjacent threads or teeth, such as the distance between peaks or valleys on a gear or screw thread.
- 15. A system of interconnected components that work together to transmit force and motion, often found in machines or devices.
- 16. The inventor of the "moving stairs"
- 17. A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point called the fulcrum, used to lift or move loads.
- 21. The pivot point or support about which a lever rotates or balances.
- 25. The ratio of the output force to the input force in a mechanical system, which shows how much a machine amplifies force.
- 27. A simple machine that consists of a wheel attached to a central axle, where rotation of the wheel transfers force to the axle and vice versa, often used to reduce the effort needed to move or lift objects.
- 29. A mechanism that converts rotary motion into linear motion, consisting of a gear that meshes with a linear toothed bar.
- 31. A mechanism consisting of a rotating or sliding part and a part that moves in response to the cam's motion, used to convert rotational motion into linear motion.
- 32. The bottom part of a thread on a screw, gear, or bolt, which is the base of the grooves formed by the threads.
- 33. The highest point of a wave or a curve, often used in reference to the top of a gear tooth or a wave pattern.
- 34. A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate or deform. It is measured in newtons (N) and can act in various directions.
Down
- 1. A mechanical component used to connect two rotating shafts, enabling the transfer of torque and motion between them.
- 2. The largest diameter of a threaded or cylindrical object, such as the outer diameter of a screw or bolt.
- 3. A simple machine consisting of a wheel with a groove around which a rope, belt, or chain passes, used to lift or move heavy loads.
- 5. The inventor of the pressure dishwasher.
- 6. The Society of Women Engineers
- 7. The last name of the inventor of the gas engine.
- 9. A flat surface set at an angle to the horizontal, used to reduce the amount of force needed to lift an object by allowing it to move along the slope rather than being lifted vertically.
- 10. A simple machine consisting of two inclined planes that are used to split, lift, or hold objects in place, often taking the form of a triangular shape.
- 12. A basic mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force, such as a lever, pulley, or inclined plane.
- 13. The American National Standards Institute, a private organization that oversees the development of standards for various industries and technologies in the United States.
- 18. The last anme of the inventor of the generator.
- 19. A gear mechanism consisting of a screw that meshes with a gear, used to transmit motion at right angles and to reduce speed or increase torque.
- 20. A type of gear with straight teeth that are parallel to the axis of rotation, used to transmit motion between parallel shafts.
- 22. The object or weight that is being moved or lifted by a machine or force.
- 23. The smallest diameter of a threaded object, such as the diameter at the root of the threads on a screw or bolt.
- 24. The angle formed between the helix of a thread or screw and a plane perpendicular to the axis, influencing the mechanical properties of the screw.
- 26. A type of simple machine consisting of a threaded shaft that converts rotational motion into linear motion or force, commonly used in fastening materials.
- 28. A system of interconnected mechanical components that work together to transfer motion or force from one point to another, often found in mechanisms like engines or machines.
- 30. The International Organization for Standardization, an independent international body that develops and publishes global standards for a wide range of industries.
