What is input?

100

 A set of program instructions.  

What is a code?

100

The use of a liquid flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another.

What is hydraulics?

100

The force per unit area exerted by a fluid against a surface 

What is pressure?

100

A collection of individuals, each with his or her own expertise, brought together to benefit a common goal.

What is a team?

200

Something produced by a person, machine, factory, country, or other system or process.

What is output?

200

A control circuit in which the system output has no effect on the control.

What is an open loop system?
200

A device used to convert fluid power into mechanical power in the form of linear motion.

What is a cylinder?

200

An air pump that compresses air into a receiver tank.

What is a compressor?

200

A substance (such as grease) capable of reducing friction, heat, and wear when introduced as a film between solid surfaces.

What is lubricant?

300

A device that responds to a physical stimulus (as heat, light, sound, pressure, magnetism, or a particular motion) and transmits a resulting impulse (as for measurement or operating a control).

What is a sensor?

300

A control system that considers the output of a system and makes adjustments based on that output.

What is a closed loop system?

300

To transmit power from one location to another, a pneumatic system uses a gas flowing under pressure.

What is a pneumatic system?

300

The tank that holds the fluid in a hydraulic system.

What is a reservoir?

300

A device used to remove contamination from a fluid.

What is a filter?

400

A device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in an electrical circuit.

What is a switch?

400

The return to the input of a part of the output of a machine, system, or process (as for producing changes in an electronic circuit that improve performance or in an automatic control device that provide self-corrective action).

What is feedback?

400

The use of a fluid (liquid or gas) to transmit power from one location to another.

What is a fluid power device?

400

A device used to create flow in a hydraulic system.

What is a pump?

400

A diagram that shows step-by-step progression through a procedure or system especially using connecting lines and a set of conventional symbols.

What is a flowchart?

500

A system of discrete states: high or low, on or off, 1 or 0.

What is digital data?

500

A signal having the characteristic of being continuous and changing smoothly over a given range, rather than switching suddenly between certain levels.

What is an analog data?

500

 A command that performs different actions depending on whether a condition is true or false.  

What is a conditional statement?

500

Any device that controls, either automatically or manually, the flow of a fluid.

What is a valve?

500

A law that states pressure exerted by a confined fluid acts undiminished equally in all directions.
