Engine displacement is a measure of the total volume of all the cylinders in an engine. What is its significance?

• It determines the engine's power output and efficiency.

• It affects the color of the vehicle.

• It influences the type of fuel used.

• It determines the vehicle's top speed.

Speed and torque in mechanical systems are related by which of the following principles?

• They are directly proportional to each other.

• They are inversely proportional to each other.

• They are not related to each other.

• They are both constant in all systems.

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device, or machine system. How is it calculated?

• By dividing the output force by the input force

• By multiplying the input force by the distance moved

• By adding the input force to the output force

• By subtracting the input force from the output force

The function of chains and sprockets in machinery is to:
