How do you increase the mechanical advantage of a lever?
The mechanical advantage of a lever can be increased by moving the fulcrum towards the load and away from the power end.
How do you calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever?
It's 1. IMA = Distance in / Distance out. A single pulley doesn't do anything toward mechanical advantage, it changes the direction of the force. Not always. A single-axeled pulley (the typical pulley) has an IMA of 1, having one axel. If there was a second axel, then the IMA would = 2, so on and so forth. The easy way to do it is IMA = # of axels.
What is the application of generator and motors?
A generator converts mechanical power into electrical power. A motor converts electrical power into mechanical power.
What is the difference between hydraulic motors and pumps?
A hydraulic pump uses an external mechanical force to pressurize the hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic motor uses the pressurized hydraulic fluid to apply a mechanical force an external machine. See the difference between a pump and a motor.
You are be mechanical student is any special side of MBA for be mechanical student?
AS A MECHANICAL STUDENT YOU CAN DO MBA IN PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT AND POWER MANAGEMENT. AS A MECHANICAL STUDENT YOU CAN DO MBA IN PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT AND POWER MANAGEMENT.
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of a lever?
The mechanical advantage of a lever can be increased by moving the fulcrum towards the load and away from the power end.
Is mechanical advantage how much work you put in?
Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool. This means the ideal mechanism does not include a power source.
Which gear gives less noise?
The mechanical advantage of leverage all the power is increased.
Two ways power can be increased?
One way to increase power is to work harder (generate more energy in same amount of time). Another way to increase power is to work faster (generate the same amount of energy in less time).
What is the difference between pump and a hydraulic motor?
A hydraulic pump will be powered by a mechanical source, such as a combustion engine or electric motor. The input shaft actuates a mechanism which pushes fluid through it, thus converting the mechanical energy into fluid energy. A hydraulic motor is powered by the flow of hydraulic fluid through it, and will use this fluid energy to power a mechanical device - typically, a shaft, thus converting fluid energy to mechanical energy.
Can turbine operate as a pump?
No, both are reverse to each other , turbine produces mechanical work by the expansion or by the conversion of fluid kinetic energy,while ,pump is used to utilise mechanical power into fluid energy.
What reduces the mechanical advantage of a machine?
The mechanical advantage of something is related to the power input (fuel) and the power output (work) that the machine is given/gives out (respectively) I'm not entirely sure what means what (i.e. a mechanical advantage of over 1 or 3 or whatever = efficient, and such) Hope I helped. If you need to, I think the last place I saw a lesson on this was in a Holt physical science book, if you wanted to search for that lesson online or something.
What is meant by the term mechanical advantage?
A lever is a very useful tool that lets us exchange weight for distance. For example (theoretically) if you had to move a 200 pound sack into a car, but couldn't lift it, you could divide it into 8 parts, each being 25 pounds, and move each one individually into the car. It would be easy, however it would take more distance (lifting into the car 8 times instead of 1)
When is it useful for some tasks to have a mechanical advantage less than 1?
The mechanical advantage is less than 1 when the output is less than the input. Mechanical advantage is expressed as the ratio of the output to the input. You can move an object far faster than your source of power is capable of working. Such as in the final gears in your car, where the wheels are turning faster than the engine is.
Is mechanical advantage the number of times the input force is multiplied by a machine?
it really depends on the machine you are talking about. there are 6 simple machines: the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and the screw. Lever = (distance from fulcrum to effort) divided by (distance from fulcrum to resistance) Wheel and Axle = (diameter of the wheel) divided by (diameter of the axle) Pulleys = the # of pulleys used Inclined Plane and Wedge = (length of slope) divided by (height) Screw = (circumference) divided by (pitch) Hope this helped :)
What is fluid coupling?
A fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch. It also has widespread application in marine and industrial machine drives, where variable speed operation and/or controlled start-up without shock loading of the power transmission system is essential. They are also sometimes called a Fluid Flywheel.
