Best Answer

A mechanical pencil or propelling pencil is a pencil with a replaceable and mechanically extendable pencil lead.

The eraser is fitted on top of the pencil at the opposite end to the lead.


The maximum length of the eraser would be no more than half an inch when new.

How long do mechanical pencils last?

A life time if you have lead.


Do mechanical pencils use lead?

Yes. All pencils use lead - not the element, but a graphite and clay mixture molded into a long narrow strip.


What is agricultural mechanisation?

Agricultural mechanization is the use of mechanical technology and engineering in the field of agriculture. Most of these technological advances are meant to increase efficiency in agricultural work, reduce the stress and pressure on farmers and even reduce long term costs.


Why does a longer bicycle ramp have better mechanical advantage than a shorter one?

Mechanical advantage is defined as the input force divided by the output force. If both ramps have the same final height, the longer one will generally have the greater mechanical advantage because it requires less overall work from the cyclist to raise the bicycle to a higher potential energy in a uniform gravitational field. The limit to this exists where the ramp becomes so long that it actually takes more energy to traverse than the short since you must account for the work required to maintain forward motion against friction and the climb against gravity. This limiting distance is related to the final height of the ramp.


What is a long steel product and what is a flat steel product?

Long products-such as billets, blooms, rebars, wire rod, sections, rails, sheet piles and drawn wires find their main markets in industries related to construction, mechanical engineering, energy and automotive.Flat products- such as slabs, hot-rolled coil, cold-rolled coil, coated steel products, tinplate and heavy plates are used in automotive, heavy machinery, pipes and tubes, construction, packaging and appliances
