What are the types of mechanical work?

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.


How does input work and out put work affect the efficiency of a simple machine?

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.


Why does plastic foam cavity wall insualtion cut down energy trasnfer between warm inner walls and cool outer walls?

Plastic foam cavity wall insulation reduces energy transfer between warm inner walls and cool outer walls because it traps small pockets of air within its structure. Air is a poor conductor of heat, so these trapped air pockets act as a barrier, slowing down the transfer of heat through the walls. This helps to maintain a more consistent temperature inside the building, reducing the need for heating or cooling systems to compensate for heat loss or gain.


What formula relates work and power?

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 that the simple machine does is called the work?

the work a machine does is the work output what it takes to do the work is the work input

What is the right size for studs?

Traditionally studs are 2x4s, but as the desire for insualtion has increased some houses use 2x6s


What is the required resistance in mega ohm when performing megger?

Normally the megger should be selected based on the following criteria. 1.Voltage rating of the megger 2.Range of the megger value 3.Manual - Hand operated analogue type 4.Auto- Digital Megger To measure the insualtion resistance of Motor (LV Motors) Up to 500 V/1000 V Megger is sufficient To measure the insualtion resistance of Motor (HV Motors) Up to 5000 V can be choosen Normaly the range starts from 0.5 to Infinity meg value in the analogue However in digital the based on the least count /range of the instrument we can able to measure the insualtion value.

Can you place a large area rug over your tiled floor which has radiant electric heat underneath or will the room suffer too much heat loss?

Yes you can, providing the floor has proper insualtion under the floor heating it will just radiate through the rug.


What causes a 1987 Mazda 323 to keep turning over in the on position when the starter and ignition switch have been replaced?

I assume that you mean the ignition OFF position. Or do you mean the starter moter keeps turning in the ON position rather than just the START position. This may be a possible wiring fault. If the wires became overheated and melted through the insualtion, the START bare wire may be touching the IGN/ON bare wire. Cheers Malcolm


Can I use 18 AWG speaker wire to rewire a lamp?

No! Most lamp cords are made with 18 guage wire, some speaker wire is made with 18 guage wire too but the insualtion of the wire is very different. Both wires have insulation for their intended uses. Supplying a lamp with line voltage and supplying a speaker with low voltage are very different. The speaker wire is not meant to carry line voltage and may overheat and or melt.


How did African slaves get education?

They got their education by secretly learning it if their master didn't allowed because it was illegal. Sometimes, their masters tought the slave even though it was against the law. By secretly learning it, they could learn it off another slave or steal a book and educate themselves.
