What is a micrometer used for?

measuring the diameter of cylindrical objects with high precision

Micrometers provide accuracy to the thousandths of an inch and come in outside and inside varieties. An outside micrometer is used to measure outside thickness, such as the diameter of a bolt, while an inside micrometer is used to measure the inside dimension of an object, such as the diameter of the hole of a nut or the width of a channel.

0.88 If the green box is 8 ft. from the fulcrum and a certain force applied 7 ft. from the fulcrum at the blue arrow balances the lever, what is the mechanical advantage?
0.88

Because this lever is in equilibrium, we know that the effort force at the blue arrow is equal to the resistance weight of the green box. For a lever that's in equilibrium, one method of calculating mechanical advantage (MA) is to divide the length of the effort arm (Ea) by the length of the resistance arm (Ra):

MA = \( \frac{E_a}{R_a} \) = \( \frac{7 ft.}{8 ft.} \) = 0.88

When a lever is in equilibrium, the torque from the effort and the resistance are equal. The equation for equilibrium is Rada = Rbdb where a and b are the two points at which effort/resistance is being applied to the lever.

In this problem, Ra and Rb are such that the lever is in equilibrium meaning that some multiple of the weight of the green box is being applied at the blue arrow. For a lever, this multiple is a function of the ratio of the distances of the box and the arrow from the fulcrum. That's why, for a lever in equilibrium, only the distances from the fulcrum are necessary to calculate mechanical advantage.

If the lever were not in equilibrium, you would first have to calculate the forces and distances necessary to put it in equilibrium and then divide Ea by Ra to get the mechanical advantage.

Mechanical Comprehension
If you lift a 30 lbs. rock 24 ft. from the ground, how much work have you done?
720 ft⋅lb
Work is force times distance. In this case, the force is the weight of the rock so:
\( W = F \times d \)
\( W = 30 \times 24 \)
\( W = 720 \)
Electronics Information
What's the overall power consumption of a piece of equipment that is rated for 7 amps at 60 volts?
420 W
Power is measured in watts (W) and 1 watt equals 1 ampere multiplied by 1 volt: P = \( V \times I \). For this problem, the equipment is rated for 7 amps (I) at 60 volts (V) so the equation becomes P = \( 60 \times 7 \) = 420 W
General Science

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:

tendons

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).

General Science

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

transpiration

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.

General Science

Blood is created in:

bone marrow

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.

Arithmetic Reasoning

Which of the following is not an integer?

\({1 \over 2}\)

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.

Which of the following would provide the most accurate measure of the diameter of a solid cylinder?

outside micrometer

Micrometers provide accuracy to the thousandths of an inch and come in outside and inside varieties. An outside micrometer is used to measure outside thickness, such as the diameter of a bolt, while an inside micrometer is used to measure the inside dimension of an object, such as the diameter of the hole of a nut or the width of a channel.

Mechanical Comprehension

Friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other is called:

static friction

Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. An example is the friction that prevents a box on a sloped surface from sliding farther down the surface.
