Longer the electrical wires mean _______________ voltage drop.
greater
Electrical wires have a certain amount of resistance per foot. A longer wire means more resistance and a greater voltage drop.
Which of the following is not a function of antifreeze?
lubricates the cooling system
Modern car engines are cooled by liquid which circulates through the engine block and cylinder heads absorbing excess heat. This liquid is made up of half water and half antifreeze (commonly, ethylene glycol) which both keeps the water from freezing at low temperatures and raises its boiling point making heat transfer more efficient.
For a hydraulic system, pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure in which parts of the system?
all of these are correct
Pascal's law states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. For a hydraulic system, this means that a pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure everywhere in the system.
Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio by which effort force relates to resistance force. If both forces are known, calculating MA is simply a matter of dividing resistance force by effort force:
MA = \( \frac{F_r}{F_e} \) = \( \frac{3 ft.}{10.0 ft.} \) = 0.3
In this case, the mechanical advantage is less than one meaning that each unit of effort force results in just 0.3 units of resistance force. However, a third class lever like this isn't designed to multiply force like a first class lever. A third class lever is designed to multiply distance and speed at the resistance by sacrificing force at the resistance. Different lever styles have different purposes and multiply forces in different ways.
A welding rod provides:
the joining material for a weld
The joining material for a weld is called a welding or filler rod and is available in a variety of diameters and alloys for different welding tasks.
