The ratio of the magnitude of the resistance and effort
forces applied to a system.
A continuous band of tough flexible material used to
transmit motion and power within a pulley system.
A profession for which one trains and which is undertaken
as a long-term vocation.
A series of usually metal links or rings connected to or fitted
into one another and used to transmit motion and power
within a sprocket system.
An external force applied to an object.
The ratio of useful energy output to the total energy input,
or the percentage of work input that is converted to work
output.
The resistance that one surface or object encounters when
moving over another.
The fixed point around which a lever rotates.
A circular toothed object used to transfer rotary motion and
torque through interlocking teeth.
Ratio of distance traveled by the applied effort and
resistance force within a system.
A gear positioned between the driver and the driven gear
used to change rotational direction.
A flat surface set at an angle (or incline) with no moving
parts that is able to lift objects by pushing or pulling the
load.
A rigid bar used to exert a pressure or sustain a weight at
one point of its length by the application of a force at a
second point and turning at a third on a fulcrum.
The structure of or the relationship of the parts in a machine
or in a construction or process comparable to a machine.
The turning effect of a force about a point equal to the
magnitude of the force times the perpendicular distance
from the point to the line of action from the force.
Distance between adjacent threads in a screw.
A type of lever that is a wheel with a groove in its rim, which
is used to change the direction or multiply a force exerted
by a rope or cable.
