Answer 3

962.5lb

Question 4

What is the formula for volume?

Answer 4

Length X Width X Height

Question 5

What is the formula for the volume of a cylinder?

Answer 5

Pi X r2 X height

Question 6

What is the formula for work?

Answer 6

Work = Force X Distance

Question 7

What is the formula for torque?

Answer 7

Torque = Force X Length of lever

Question 8

What is the formula for pressure?

Answer 8

Pressure = Force / Area

Question 9

What is the formula for velocity?

Answer 9

Velocity = distance X time

Question 10

What are the formulas for Mechanical Advantage (MA)?

Answer 10

MA = Output force / input force

MA = input ditance / output distance

MA = Effort arm length / Reaction arm length

MA = output are / input area

Question 11

Solve.

MA = 22in (effort arm length) / 2in (reaction arm length)

Answer 11

MA = 11

Question 12

What are the formulas for MA in gears?

Answer 12

MA = input speed / output speed

MA = input torque / output torque

Question 13

How much torque results from one Newton applied to a 1 metre long lever?

Answer 13

1Nm
