MECHANICAL LAW COMPREHENSIVE TEST
BANK 2026 VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT
●● Lever.
Answer: a bar that has a fulcrum, effort and load. the position of these
depends upon the class of lever
●● Wedge.
Answer: shaped like an inclined plane, but is used differently. it is forced
into objects
●● Screw.
Answer: a cylinder wrapped with an inclined plane. it helps you increase
the input force you use and it can turn rotational motion into linear
motion
●● Inclined Plane.
Answer: 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 like a ramp
●● Pulley.
, Answer: consists of a grooved wheel(s) with a rope(s) or cable(s)
wrapped around it used to lift objects
●● Wheel and Axle.
Answer: a device made from two different-sized, circular objects that are
connected and rotate together
●● Work.
Answer: any time there is a force moving a certain distance (work =
force x distance)
●● Force.
Answer: push or pull on an object (measured in Newtons)
●● Distance.
Answer: the total movement of an object without any regard to direction.
●● Mechanical Advantage.
Answer: the number of times a machine multiplies the effort force put
into a machine (MA > 1 = force advantage, MA < 1 = speed advantage)
●● Force Output.
Answer: the force the machine applies to a load
