What is Screw
300
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.
What is Chain
300
A flat surface set at an angle or an incline with no moving parts that is able to lift objects by pushing or pulling the load.
What is Inclined Plane
300
Any of various elementary mechanisms including the lever, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw.
What is Simple Machine
300
Impeding effect exerted by one material object on another.

A circular toothed object used to transfer rotary motion and torque through interlocking teeth.
What is Gear
400
A gear positioned between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.
What is Idler Gear
400
Creating, designing, and transmitting technical information so that people can understand it easily and use it safely, effectively, and efficiently.
What is Technical Communication
400
A substance that tapers to a thin edge and is used for splitting, raising heavy bodies, or for tightening by being driven into something.
What is Wedge
500
The ratio of the magnitude of the resistance and effort forces applied to a system.
What is Actual Mechanical Advantage
500
An external force applied to an object.
The ratio of useful energy output to the total energy input, or the percentage of the work input that is converted to work output.
What is Efficiency
500
Ratio of distance traveled by the applied effort and resistance force within a system.
What is Ideal Mechanical Advantage
500
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 and turning at a third on a fulcrum.
What is Lever
500
A condition where there are no net external forces acting upon a particle or rigid body and the body remains at rest or continues at a constant velocity.
