What are the three kinds of levers?

The three kinds of levers are the: A) First-class lever - Like a seesaw, the fulcrum is in the middle. The input force is on one side and the output force comes out on the other side of the fulcrum. B) Second-class lever - This one is like a wheelbarrow. The fulcrum is all the way at the end, and you PULL upon the other end so the middle (where the bucket is) gets lifted up also. C) Third-class lever - The third class lever is like the second, but the input force is not at the end. The fulcrum is at one end, and on the other end is the output force. Its like the forearm of a human, our elbow is the fulcrum while you grip things with hand means you life some weight that is load and the arm is where you feel some effort being applied..


Is voltage the same as potential?

volt drop and potential difference are effectively the same thing, although the term volt drop is usually used in reference of what voltage has to occur for a diode to conduct, or what volt drop is expected across a long wire etc, potential difference is used to refer to the difference in voltage over a potential divider.


What is difference between inducer and diffuser in a pump?

Inducer in pump used to reduce the NET POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD Required (NPSHr). NPSHa should be more than NPSHr. NPSHr depends upon pump design and NPSHa depends upon Head in application. If NPSHr is more than NPSHa, We can reduce the same by fixing inducer in front of impeller.Diffuser used to increase the pressure. Diffuser is the static part around the impeller. It decreases the velocity of fluid which rotates by impeller and increases performance.MANIKANDANmaniukran@gmail.com
