The law that states, "the distortion of any elastic body is proportional to the distorting force" is known as
- A.
Hook's Law
- B.
Boyle's Law
- C.
Pascal's Law
- D.
Charles' Law
Correct Answer
A. Hook's LawExplanation
Hook's Law states that the distortion of any elastic body is proportional to the distorting force. This means that when a force is applied to an elastic body, such as stretching or compressing a spring, the amount of deformation or change in length is directly proportional to the force applied. In other words, the more force applied, the more the elastic body will deform. This law is commonly used in physics and engineering to understand and predict the behavior of elastic materials.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Passed the elastic limitExplanation
When a force is applied to a solid and it causes a permanent change in the shape or size of the solid, it means that the solid has passed its elastic limit. The elastic limit is the maximum stress or force that a material can withstand without undergoing permanent deformation. Once the elastic limit is surpassed, the solid loses its ability to return to its original shape and size after the force is removed. Therefore, the correct answer is "passed the elastic limit".Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Creep platesExplanation
Creep plates provide cooler operation in a variable-volume hydraulic pump. Creep plates are designed to create a small gap between the pump's pistons and the cylinder block. This allows a small amount of fluid to continuously flow through the gap, which helps to dissipate heat generated during pump operation. As a result, the pump operates at a lower temperature, reducing the risk of overheating and improving overall efficiency.Rate this question:

In the Stratopower variable-volume pump, the pistons are held in contact with the cam plate by the
- A.
Fixed pivot
- B.
Nutating plate
- C.
Stationary bearing
- D.
Compensator piston
Correct Answer
B. Nutating plateExplanation
The Stratopower variable-volume pump uses a nutating plate to hold the pistons in contact with the cam plate. A nutating plate is a disc-shaped component that moves in a circular motion while maintaining contact with the pistons. This design ensures that the pistons are properly aligned and can move smoothly along the cam plate, allowing for efficient pumping action. The nutating plate acts as a stabilizing element, preventing any misalignment or displacement of the pistons during operation.Rate this question:
