Questions and Answers
Explain the purpose of flywheel in machines and mechanisms.
Explain the purpose of flywheel in machines and mechanisms.
The flywheel is used to store rotational energy and smooth out the power output from a machine or to maintain constant speed.
Explain the purpose of cams in machines and mechanisms.
Explain the purpose of cams in machines and mechanisms.
Cams are used to convert rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa, and are often used in mechanisms to control the timing of valve opening and closing in engines.
Describe the role of brakes and dynamometers in machines and mechanisms.
Describe the role of brakes and dynamometers in machines and mechanisms.
Brakes are used to stop or slow down the motion of a machine, while dynamometers are used to measure the power output of a machine.
What are governors and what is their function in machines?
What are governors and what is their function in machines?
