What is the key advantage of using a universal joint in surgical tools for minimally invasive surgeries?

Back

It allows movement to be transmitted to areas that are difficult to reach

Front

How does a universal joint enhance a surgeon's ability to perform minimally invasive surgery?

Back

By allowing flexible movement of the tool in different angles

Front

Why might a surgeon use a universal joint in a minimally invasive surgical tool?

Back

To allow precise transmission of movement to hard-to-reach areas in the body

Front

How does a universal joint in a vehicle's driveshaft benefit its movement over uneven terrain?

Back

It allows the driveshaft to move with the suspension while rotating

Front

What would happen if a vehicle's driveshaft didn’t have a universal joint while driving over uneven road surfaces?

Back

The flow of power to the wheels would be interrupted

Front

Why are universal joints used in the driveshaft of a vehicle?

Back

To transmit power to the driving wheels even as the driveshaft moves up and down

Front

Why is it important to handle the universal joint with care during testing? Options: It is made up of fragile components that can come loose, It is designed to break after repeated use, It cannot handle any rotational force, It only works if the shafts are kept at 0° angle

Back

It is made up of fragile components that can come loose
