|
The mechanical advantage of a system is defined as the ratio of the outforce to the inforce. |
|
The federation is expected to rule that Pistorius is ineligible because he has a mechanical advantage. |
|
Force can also be multiplied by the use of air to gain further mechanical advantage. |
|
The ratio of the two forces gives us the actual mechanical advantage, but if friction is negligible, the actual mechanical advantage equals the ideal mechanical advantage. |
|
Unlike ideal mechanical advantage, a machine's actual mechanical advantage takes into account the losses that occur because of friction and other phenomena. |
|
The ideal mechanical advantage of a compound machine is the product of the ideal mechanical advantages of the simple machines of which it is comprised. |
|
The inclined plane, the lever, the elastic and the spring often provide a mechanical advantage or help to transform energy. |
|
So I ended up giving a lesson on pulleys and mechanical advantage. |
|
Two or more gears working in tandem are called a transmission, which can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio. |
|
The dispenser has an 8:1 mechanical advantage, which provides sufficient force to dispense paste. |
|
The crusher has a very high mechanical advantage so very little energy is needed to crush even the hardest pills. |
|
|
But no matter how much mechanical advantage is applied, the grinder still must be prepared to apply an awful lot of physical force to his role. |
|
The increased mechanical advantage of the connecting rod mitigates the power loss, but it's a fact of life that power drops off faster at leaner mixtures. |
|
Because a rider has very little mechanical advantage if the bike is in 15th gear, the bike would be very hard to pedal, and it would take a while to get up to speed. |
|
About four turns of rope went between the angel and the toggle to give the mechanical advantage to tighten the side stays. |
|
The extension of the landing gear strut reduced the mechanical advantage necessary for the torque links to keep the landing gear wheels in line with the aircraft's longitudinal axis. |
|
After inserting the lever end into the slot the operator obtains mechanical advantage by applying force at the end of the lever resulting in the transfer of weight from the vehicle wheels to the hi-rail wheels. |
|
This helpful one-page schematic fact sheet explains energy, batteries, transformations, friction, force, mechanical advantage, machines, motion and work. |
|
In 1586 Flemish engineer Simon Stevin derived the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane, and it was included with the other simple machines. |
|
This amplification, or mechanical advantage is the ratio of the input speed to output speed. |
|
Breakout force is exceptionally high due to mechanical advantage of Z-bar linkage design, and hydraulic pressure applied to the head end of the tilt cylinder. |
|
An athlete using this prosthetic blade has a demonstrable mechanical advantage when compared to someone not using the blade. |
|
Where brute force was insufficient there were blocks and tackle, cargo runners and, for the anchor, the mechanical advantage of long bars and a capstan. |
|
I cursed the blue-wheeled bike for its lack of mechanical advantage. |
|
That prompted questions about whether his thin, flat-black Cheetahs gave him an unfair mechanical advantage. |
|
When the lift dumpers are deployed, the weight is transferred from the wings to the wheels, and the upper and lower torque links regain their mechanical advantage. |
|
The Court of Arbitration for Sport yesterday ruled his carbon fibre legs did not give him a mechanical advantage. |
|
For him, there is a mechanical advantage too. |
|
It offers a tremendous mechanical advantage. |
|
The mechanical advantage of a crank, the ratio between the force on the connecting rod and the torque on the shaft, varies throughout the crank's cycle. |
|
In sharp contrast to the coiled steel mainspring, the gas spring's effort comes at a point in the barrel where you don't have much mechanical advantage. |
|
|
The help we get from a machine is called the mechanical advantage. |
|
First, adding a specific weight to a precise location on the cam creates a flywheel effect, exaggerating the mechanical advantage of an off-center or eccentric cam. |
|
He discovered the principle of mechanical advantage in the lever. |
