What are the factors that affect frictional forces in mechanical power transmission?

• Surface roughness, lubrication, and normal force

• Material, shape, and size

• Weight, density, and volume

• Temperature, velocity, and color

Explain the difference between static and kinetic friction in mechanical power transmission.

• Static friction and kinetic friction both prevent motion between surfaces.

• Static friction prevents motion between surfaces, while kinetic friction opposes the relative motion of surfaces.

• Static friction and kinetic friction have no effect on mechanical power transmission.

• Static friction causes motion between surfaces, while kinetic friction prevents motion.

Describe the process of casting as a manufacturing technique.

• Using a 3D printer to create the desired shape

• Pouring molten metal into a mold to create a desired shape

• Blowing air into a mold to create the desired shape

• Heating metal to its melting point and then shaping it by hand

What are the key material properties that affect the mechanical behavior of a material?

• Viscosity, conductivity, magnetism

• Temperature, pressure, density

• Color, weight, volume

• Strength, hardness, ductility, elasticity, toughness, and fatigue resistance

Explain the concept of elasticity in material properties.

• The ability of a material to return to its original shape after being deformed.

• The ability of a material to change color when deformed.

• The ability of a material to conduct electricity when deformed.

• The ability of a material to become magnetic when deformed.

How does a gear system transmit mechanical power?

• By transferring rotational motion and torque from one gear to another.

What are the different stages involved in the manufacturing process of a product?

• Research, development, advertising

• Packaging, shipping, customer service

• The different stages involved in the manufacturing process of a product are: design, prototype, testing, production, and quality control.

• Marketing, sales, distribution

Discuss the role of quality control in manufacturing processes.

• It ensures that products meet the required standards and specifications, leading to customer satisfaction and reduced waste.

• It only focuses on reducing costs for the manufacturer

• It has no impact on the final product quality

• It is only necessary for small-scale production
