A portcullis is a heavy gate made of wood or metal that is raised or lowered vertically to block entry to a castle or fortification. It is typically operated using a system of pulleys, ropes, or chains. The portcullis can be controlled from inside the castle to allow or restrict access through the entrance.
The name given to the strong heavy grating is a "manhole cover." It is a removable plate that is used to cover openings in streets or pavements to provide access to utility vaults below.
The types of mechanical work include static work, dynamic work, and intensive work. Static work refers to work done without motion, dynamic work involves movement, and intensive work focuses on the internal energy changes within a system.
Input work is the work done on a machine, while output work is the work done by the machine. Efficiency of a simple machine is calculated as the ratio of output work to input work. The efficiency of a simple machine is high when the output work is close to the input work, indicating that the machine is converting most of the input work into useful output work.
The formula that relates work and power is: Power = Work / Time. Power is the rate at which work is done, which is the amount of work done divided by the time it takes to do that work.
the work a machine does is the work output what it takes to do the work is the work input
A portcullis is a heavy metal grate used as a gate. The guards raised the portcullis of the castle.
Portcullis House (PCH) is an office building in Westminster, London, UK. Portcullis House is a seven story building. The building was designed by Michael Hopkins and Partners.
When attackers attacked the castle, if a portcullis existed , it could come from above and kill them. I hope it helped :) ^^
Keep, portcullis?
The root word of "portcullis" is "porta," which means gate or entrance in Latin.
protection
The portcullis.
yes there is but i think that there were 2.
they had portcullis and dead ends
You can close the gate on the enemies when they come to attack the castle. And if they get under it when it's closing, they are crushed and due to the pointy gate, they die! Portcullis are very helpful.
The Portcullis House was called the Palace of Westminster initially that comprised of committee rooms, refreshment facilities, and housing member office.
A portcullis was a large gate, usually in a frame that allowed it to be raised or lowered depending on was there. If you think of any medieval movie where a gate was raised or lowered, that was a portcullis.
