In a small vehicle's hydraulic braking system, a driver applies an input force of $30 \text{ lbs}$ to the master cylinder piston. The master cylinder piston has a cross-sectional area of $1 \text{ in}^2$ . If the brake caliper piston has a cross-sectional area of $4 \text{ in}^2$ , what is the resulting output force applied by the brake caliper piston?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 120

Cevap

120

According to Pascal's Principle, pressure is transmitted equally throughout an enclosed fluid. Because the brake caliper piston has an area 4 times larger than the master cylinder piston, it will multiply the input force by a factor of 4, resulting in 120 lbs of output force.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the fluid pressure created by the master cylinder.

P = \frac{30 \text{ lbs}}{1 \text{ in}^2} = 30 \text{ psi}

Pressure is defined as force divided by area.

2

Calculate the output force at the brake caliper using Pascal's Principle.

F_2 = 30 \text{ psi} \times 4 \text{ in}^2 = 120 \text{ lbs}

Pascal's Principle states that the 30 psi pressure is transmitted undiminished to the 4 sq in output piston.

Cevap: $40\text{ m/s}$

Cevap

The downward velocity of the package is

40\text{ m/s}

.

In free fall without air resistance, velocity increases at a constant rate equal to gravitational acceleration, regardless of mass. Multiplying the acceleration (

10\text{ m/s}^2

) by the time (

4\text{ seconds}

) gives the correct velocity of

40\text{ m/s}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the given values from the problem statement.

Initial velocity (

v_0

) =

0\text{ m/s}

, Acceleration (

g

) =

10\text{ m/s}^2

, Time (

t

) =

4\text{ s}

, Mass (

m

) =

5\text{ kg}

.

Extracting variables is the necessary first step to choosing the correct kinematic formula.

2

Select the correct formula to find the final velocity.

Use the formula

v = v_0 + gt

.

This formula relates velocity, acceleration, and time without needing the fall distance.

3

Substitute the values into the formula and solve.

v = 0 + (10 \times 4) = 40\text{ m/s}

.

Performing the calculation yields the final velocity. The mass of

5\text{ kg}

is irrelevant because all objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate in the absence of air resistance.

Anahtar Kavram

In free fall with no air resistance, the velocity of an object increases linearly with time (

v = gt

), completely independent of the object's mass.

Cevap: $500 \text{ lbs}$ maximum weight; $50 \text{ inches}$ of input travel

Cevap

The press can lift a maximum weight of 500 lbs, and the input piston must travel 50 inches.

The correct answer correctly applies the area ratio of 10 (

30/3

). The output force is multiplied by this ratio (

50 \times 10 = 500 \text{ lbs}

), and the input distance must also be 10 times the output distance (

5 \times 10 = 50 \text{ inches}

) to displace enough fluid volume.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the area ratio between the output and input pistons.

Area Ratio =

30 \text{ in}^2 / 3 \text{ in}^2 = 10

.

This ratio represents the mechanical advantage of the hydraulic system.

2

Calculate the maximum weight (output force) the press can lift.

F_{output} = 50 \text{ lbs} \times 10 = 500 \text{ lbs}

.

According to Pascal's Principle, pressure is transmitted equally. Therefore, the output force is the input force multiplied by the area ratio.

3

Calculate the required input travel distance.

d_{input} = 5 \text{ inches} \times 10 = 50 \text{ inches}

.

To conserve work and fluid volume, the input piston must move proportionally farther than the output piston by a factor equal to the area ratio.

Anahtar Kavram

In a hydraulic system, a larger output piston multiplies the input force by the ratio of their areas, but the input piston must travel proportionally farther to conserve fluid volume and work.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The heated pulley matches with interference fit upon cooling; the pipeline loops match with preventing structural buckling; the riveted metal strips match with unequal expansion for movement; and the hydraulic accumulator matches with volumetric expansion of fluids.

Each distinct mechanical design feature intentionally harnesses or mitigates the physical size changes that occur when solid materials and fluids undergo temperature variations.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the thermal behavior of a heated metal pulley placed on a cold shaft.

The heated pulley has an temporarily enlarged bore; upon cooling, thermal contraction reduces the bore size.

This physical reduction in size locks the pulley onto the shaft securely without fasteners.

2

Evaluate the mechanical purpose of U-shaped loops in long metal pipelines.

The loops provide a flexible section that can compress or stretch slightly.

Metal expands linearly when heated; without flexibility, the expansion would cause the pipe to warp or break under massive internal stress.

3

Determine the effect of heating two dissimilar metals riveted together (a bimetallic strip).

The metal with the higher coefficient of expansion grows more, forcing the entire bonded assembly to curl or bend.

This predictable bending motion is intentionally utilized to flip switches or move dials in temperature-sensing devices.

4

Assess why a closed fluid system requires an accumulator or overflow tank.

The tank provides an empty or gas-filled space for hydraulic fluid to enter as the system warms up.

Fluids expand when heated but are virtually incompressible; without extra volume, the expanding fluid would rupture the rigid lines.

Cevap

Wheelbarrow matches the configuration where resistance is in the middle (Class 2). Baseball bat matches the configuration where applied force is in the middle (Class 3). Crowbar matches the pivot-in-middle configuration with a long effort arm (Class 1, high torque). Balance scale matches the pivot-in-middle configuration with equal arms (Class 1, neutral torque).

Each tool's primary function dictates its lever configuration. Class 1 levers separate effort and resistance with a pivot (crowbar maximizes force; balance scale equalizes force). Class 2 levers place resistance in the middle to multiply force (wheelbarrow). Class 3 levers place effort in the middle to multiply speed and distance (baseball bat).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the mechanics of the wheelbarrow.

Identified that the wheel is the pivot, the load is in the center, and the handles receive the effort.

Determining the relative positions of the pivot, load, and effort confirms it is a Class 2 lever, which always reduces the effort force required.

2

Analyze the mechanics of the baseball bat.

Identified that the wrists act as the pivot, the arms apply force near the base, and the load is at the far end.

This confirms it is a Class 3 lever, which trades force for increased speed and distance at the resistance end.

3

Analyze the mechanics of the crowbar.

Identified that the pivot rests between the long handle (effort) and the short prying tip (resistance).

This confirms it is a Class 1 lever designed with a much longer effort arm to maximize the mechanical advantage and torque.

4

Analyze the mechanics of the double-pan balance scale.

Identified that the pivot is perfectly centered between the two pans.

This confirms it is a Class 1 lever with equal arm lengths, yielding a mechanical advantage of exactly 1.

A technician is selecting a bench vise to clamp heavy metal parts securely. They want to use the vise that provides the greatest mechanical advantage, meaning it requires the least amount of effort force on the handle to generate a strong clamping force. If all available vises have the exact same handle length, which of the following thread designs should the technician choose?

A design with a smaller thread pitch (more threads per inch)

A design with a larger thread pitch (fewer threads per inch)

A design that uses left-handed threads instead of right-handed threads

A design with a thicker solid central threaded shaft

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: A design with a smaller thread pitch (more threads per inch)

Cevap

A design with a smaller thread pitch (more threads per inch)

A screw is essentially an inclined plane wrapped around a central cylinder. The thread pitch is the linear distance between adjacent threads. A smaller thread pitch represents a less steep inclined plane, meaning the vise jaw advances a shorter distance for each full revolution of the handle. Because the jaw moves less distance per turn, the effort force required to turn the handle is reduced, resulting in a higher ideal mechanical advantage and a stronger clamping force.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relationship between a screw's threads and an inclined plane.

A screw is essentially an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.

Understanding the underlying simple machine explains how force is multiplied.

2

Determine how thread pitch affects the steepness of the inclined plane.

A smaller thread pitch (threads are closer together) creates a longer, less steep inclined plane over the same linear distance.

Pitch determines the linear distance the screw travels per revolution.

3

Relate the steepness to mechanical advantage and effort force.

A less steep inclined plane provides a higher mechanical advantage, meaning less effort force on the handle is required to generate the clamping force.

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of effort distance to load distance; a smaller pitch increases the effort distance per unit of clamping movement.

A heavy shipping container is suspended steadily in the air by a single vertical steel cable attached to a helicopter. Which of the following types of stress is the steel cable primarily experiencing?

Tension

Compression

Shear

Torsion

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Tension

Cevap

Tension

The correct answer is tension because the cable is subjected to opposing forces pulling outward from its center (the lifting force of the helicopter above and the weight of the container below). This pulling action tends to stretch or elongate the material, which is the exact definition of tensile stress.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the direction of the forces acting on the cable.

The helicopter exerts an upward force on the top of the cable, while gravity acting on the shipping container exerts a downward force on the bottom of the cable.

Understanding the direction of applied forces is required to determine the type of stress.

2

Determine how these forces affect the material of the cable.

The opposing outward forces pull the cable from both ends, attempting to stretch or elongate it.

Matching the physical effect to the definition of stress types reveals the answer.

3

Match the stretching effect to the correct stress terminology.

A pulling force that stretches a material is defined as tension.

Concrete pillar matches to Compressive stress; crane cable matches to Tensile stress; drive shaft matches to Torsional stress; bolt holding overlapping plates matches to Shear stress.

Structural and mechanical components are designed to withstand specific forces based on their application. Pillars support weight by resisting being crushed (compression). Cables lift loads by resisting being stretched (tension). Drive shafts transmit torque by resisting being twisted (torsion). Fasteners like bolts hold sliding members together by resisting being cut in half (shear).

1

Analyze the force acting on the concrete foundation pillar.

The pillar is being pushed down upon, which squeezes the material.

Pushing forces that attempt to shorten or crush a material create compressive stress.

2

Analyze the force acting on the crane cable.

The cable is being pulled from both ends by the crane mechanism and the load.

Pulling forces that attempt to stretch or elongate a material create tensile stress.

3

Analyze the force acting on the drive shaft.

The shaft is being rotated rapidly to transmit power, creating a twisting motion.

Twisting forces applied to an object create torsional stress.

4

Analyze the force acting on the structural bolt.

The overlapping plates pull in opposite directions, acting like scissors across the middle of the bolt.

Forces acting parallel to a cross-section, attempting to slice or cut the material, create shear stress.

A civil engineer is designing a road to reach the summit of a steep mountain. Instead of building a road that goes straight up the slope, the engineer designs a series of gradual switchbacks (zigzags). Ignoring friction and air resistance, how does the switchback design affect the physical task for a vehicle climbing the mountain compared to a direct, steep route?

The design reduces the total amount of work the vehicle must perform because the slope is not as steep.

The design reduces the actual weight of the vehicle against gravity, which reduces the required engine force.

The design requires less force from the vehicle's engine, but the total amount of work done to reach the summit is unchanged.

The design requires less force from the vehicle's engine, which directly decreases the total amount of work performed.

Cevap: The design requires less force from the vehicle's engine, but the total amount of work done to reach the summit is unchanged.

Cevap

The design requires less force from the vehicle's engine, but the total amount of work done to reach the summit is unchanged.

A switchback acts as an inclined plane. By making the path longer and more gradual, the mechanical advantage increases. This means the vehicle's engine does not have to provide as much force at any given moment to push the vehicle upward. However, because this smaller force must be applied over a much longer distance, the total amount of work done against gravity (Force × Distance) remains exactly the same as taking a shorter, steeper route.

1

Identify the simple machine principle at work.

A switchback road acts as an inclined plane, stretching the vertical climb over a much longer physical distance.

To determine which mechanical principles govern the vehicle's climb.

2

Analyze how the inclined plane affects the required force.

Because the slope is more gradual, the mechanical advantage increases, meaning the engine has to provide less effort force to push the vehicle upward at any given moment.

To understand the immediate benefit of using a ramp or switchback.

3

Apply the principle of conservation of work.

Calculate the speed and direction of the second shaft (Gears B and C).

Gear B speed =

300 \times \frac{30}{45} = 200

RPM. Direction = counter-clockwise.

When meshing, speed is inversely proportional to tooth count. Meshing gears rotate in opposite directions. Because Gears B and C share a shaft, Gear C also rotates at 200 RPM counter-clockwise.

A construction crew uses a pile driver machine that drops a solid steel hammer freely onto a concrete pillar. The operator replaces the original $500\text{-kg}$ hammer with a $1,000\text{-kg}$ hammer and drops it from the exact same height.

Ignoring air resistance and guide rail friction, which of the following statements correctly describes how the final free-fall speed of the heavier hammer compares to the original lighter hammer?

The speeds will be exactly the same, because gravitational acceleration is independent of an object's mass.

The heavier hammer will fall faster, because a larger mass results in a greater gravitational acceleration.

The heavier hammer will fall slower, because its increased mass creates more inertia to resist the downward pull.

The heavier hammer will fall faster, because mass and weight are identical properties that directly dictate an object's falling speed.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The speeds will be exactly the same, because gravitational acceleration is independent of an object's mass.

Cevap

The final speeds will be exactly the same because the acceleration due to gravity is independent of the falling object's mass.

In the absence of air resistance and friction, all objects in free fall experience the exact same uniform acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. Because both hammers are dropped from the same height and accelerate at the same rate, they will achieve the exact same speed just before impact.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the forces acting on both hammers during their descent.

Since air resistance and friction are ignored, the only force acting on the hammers is the downward pull of gravity.

Establishing that the objects are in a state of free fall is required to determine their rate of acceleration.

2

Relate gravitational force to acceleration using Newton's laws.

The downward force is weight (

F = mg

), and Newton's second law is

F = ma

. Equating them gives

mg = ma

, which simplifies to

a = g

.

This mathematical relationship proves that the mass (

m

) cancels out, meaning acceleration depends only on gravity (

g

).

3

Compare the final velocities of the two hammers.

Both hammers drop from the exact same height with the same constant acceleration. Therefore, their final speeds just before impact must be equal.

According to kinematic equations, identical initial conditions (starting from rest) and identical acceleration over the same distance result in the exact same final velocity.

Weight =

10,000\text{ kg} \times 10\text{ m/s}^2 = 100,000\text{ N}

.

The mass must be converted to standard SI units (kilograms) and multiplied by gravity to find the downward force required to lift it.

2

Calculate the Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of the switchback road.

\text{IMA} = \frac{\text{Length}}{\text{Height}} = \frac{4000\text{ m}}{500\text{ m}} = 8

.

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of its slope length to its vertical height.

3

Calculate the required effort force on the switchback road.

\text{Effort Force} = \frac{\text{Load}}{\text{IMA}} = \frac{100,000\text{ N}}{8} = 12,500\text{ N}

Cevap: $6.0\text{ m}$ ; total work done is equal to lifting it vertically

Cevap

The required length is

6.0\text{ m}

, and the total work done is equal to the work required to lift the engine vertically.

The weight of the engine block is

1500\text{ N}

. To lift it

1.2\text{ m}

vertically requires

1800\text{ J}

of work. Using a frictionless ramp, the exact same

1800\text{ J}

of work is performed by applying a smaller

300\text{ N}

force over a longer distance (

6.0\text{ m}

). Simple machines change the ratio of force and distance but do not alter the total work done.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the weight of the engine block and convert the height to meters.

Weight =

150\text{ kg} \times 10\text{ m/s}^2 = 1500\text{ N}

. Height =

1.2\text{ m}

.

Standard SI units (meters) and forces (Newtons) are required for accurate work and energy calculations.

2

Apply the principle of conservation of work (Work Input = Work Output) to solve for the length.

300\text{ N} \times L = 1500\text{ N} \times 1.2\text{ m} \rightarrow 300L = 1800 \rightarrow L = 6.0\text{ m}

.

In a frictionless system, the input work done by the effort force over the ramp's length equals the output work needed to lift the object vertically.

3

Compare the total work done in both scenarios.

Work on ramp (

300\text{ N} \times 6.0\text{ m} = 1800\text{ J}

) equals Work lifted vertically (

1500\text{ N} \times 1.2\text{ m} = 1800\text{ J}

).

Simple machines like inclined planes provide a mechanical advantage by spreading the same amount of work over a longer distance, reducing the required force.

A lead screw on a lathe has 8 threads per inch (TPI). How far, in inches, will the carriage move if the screw is turned exactly 12 full revolutions?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1.5

Cevap

1.5

Because the screw has 8 threads per inch, completing one full revolution advances the screw exactly 1/8 of an inch (0.125 inches). Turning the screw 12 times results in a total linear movement of 12 * 0.125 = 1.5 inches.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the pitch of the screw.

Pitch = 1 / 8 = 0.125 inches per revolution.

Pitch is the linear distance a screw travels in one complete revolution, which is the inverse of the TPI (Threads Per Inch).

2

Calculate the total linear distance traveled.

Distance = 0.125 inches/revolution * 12 revolutions = 1.5 inches.

Total distance is the product of the distance per revolution and the number of full revolutions.

Alternatif Yöntem

Set up a proportion based on the definition of TPI: If 8 revolutions move the carriage 1 inch (since there are 8 threads in one inch), then 12 revolutions will move it 12 / 8 = 1.5 inches.

A delivery crew needs to load a $600\text{ lb}$ safe into the back of a moving truck that sits $4\text{ ft}$ above the ground. They deploy a straight, uniform ramp that is $16\text{ ft}$ long. Assuming friction is negligible, what is the ideal effort force, in pounds, required to push the safe up the ramp?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 150

Cevap

150

By using a ramp, the distance over which the force is applied increases, which proportionally decreases the required force. A 16-foot ramp lifting an object 4 feet provides a mechanical advantage of 4 (16 divided by 4). Therefore, pushing a 600-pound load requires only one-quarter of the weight in force, which is 150 pounds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of the ramp.

IMA = 16 / 4 = 4

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of its length to its vertical height.

2

Calculate the ideal effort force required to move the load.

Effort Force = 600 / 4 = 150 lbs

The required effort force is the total load divided by the mechanical advantage.

A military recovery vehicle is using a winch to pull a disabled transport truck out of deep mud on a level surface. The disabled truck has a weight of $50,000 \text{ N}$ . The mud exerts a constant resistive drag force of $12,000 \text{ N}$ against the truck's motion. If the winch must accelerate the truck horizontally at a rate of $0.5 \text{ m/s}^2$ , how much tension force must the winch cable provide? (Assume gravitational acceleration $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$ )

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $14,500 \text{ N}$

Cevap

The winch cable must provide

14,500 \text{ N}

of tension force.

The correct answer is found by first converting the truck's weight (

50,000 \text{ N}

) to its mass (

5,000 \text{ kg}

) using

g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2

. Next, the net force required to accelerate this mass at

0.5 \text{ m/s}^2

is calculated as

2,500 \text{ N}

using

F = ma

. Finally, because the mud exerts a

12,000 \text{ N}

opposing drag, the winch must pull with enough force to overcome the drag and still provide the

2,500 \text{ N}

net force. Therefore, the total required tension is

12,000 \text{ N} + 2,500 \text{ N} = 14,500 \text{ N}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the mass of the disabled truck from its given weight.

m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{50,000 \text{ N}}{10 \text{ m/s}^2} = 5,000 \text{ kg}

Newton's second law (

F = ma

) requires mass, not weight.

2

Calculate the required net force to achieve the target acceleration.

F_{\text{net}} = ma = 5,000 \text{ kg} \times 0.5 \text{ m/s}^2 = 2,500 \text{ N}

This is the net force that must remain after all opposing forces are overcome.

3

Set up the force balance equation for the horizontal direction.

F_{\text{net}} = T_{\text{winch}} - F_{\text{drag}}

The net force is the vector sum of the applied tension pulling forward and the drag force resisting backward.

4

Solve the equation for the required winch tension (

T_{\text{winch}}

).

2,500 \text{ N} = T_{\text{winch}} - 12,000 \text{ N} \implies T_{\text{winch}} = 14,500 \text{ N}

Adding the drag force to the required net force gives the total applied force.

A U-shaped glass tube is open to the atmosphere at both ends. The left arm of the tube has a cross-sectional area of $10\text{ cm}^2$ , and the right arm has a cross-sectional area of $5\text{ cm}^2$ . The tube initially contains water with a density of $1.0\text{ g/cm}^3$ . A student carefully pours a column of oil measuring $20\text{ cm}$ in length, with a density of $0.8\text{ g/cm}^3$ , into the narrower right arm. Assuming the oil-water interface remains in the vertical section of the right arm, what is the vertical height difference between the top surface of the oil and the top surface of the water once the fluids come to rest?

0\text{ cm}

4\text{ cm}

8\text{ cm}

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $4\text{ cm}$

Cevap

4\text{ cm}

Hydrostatic pressure is determined solely by fluid density and depth (

P = \rho g h

), entirely independent of the container's cross-sectional area. Equating the pressures at the fluid interface gives a water column height of

16\text{ cm}

. Subtracting this from the

20\text{ cm}

oil column reveals that the oil surface rests

4\text{ cm}

higher than the water surface.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the reference point of equal pressure.

The horizontal plane at the oil-water interface in the right arm represents the point where pressure from both sides must be equal.

In a static fluid system, pressure at any given horizontal depth within the same continuous fluid (water) is uniform.

2

Set up the hydrostatic pressure equation.

\rho_{\text{water}} \times g \times h_{\text{water}} = \rho_{\text{oil}} \times g \times h_{\text{oil}}

. The cross-sectional areas (

10\text{ cm}^2

and

5\text{ cm}^2

) are irrelevant and ignored.

Hydrostatic pressure (

P = \rho g h

) depends only on fluid density and depth, not on the container's shape or the total volume of fluid.

3

Calculate the required height of the water column.

1.0\text{ g/cm}^3 \times h_{\text{water}} = 0.8\text{ g/cm}^3 \times 20\text{ cm}

, which simplifies to

h_{\text{water}} = 16\text{ cm}

.

This establishes how high the water surface in the left arm must rise above the interface to balance the downward pressure of the oil.

4

Calculate the difference in surface heights.

20\text{ cm} - 16\text{ cm} = 4\text{ cm}

.

The question asks for the vertical difference between the top of the oil and the top of the water, not just the absolute height of the water column.

Anahtar Kavram

Hydrostatic pressure is independent of container shape or cross-sectional area, depending solely on fluid density and vertical column height.
