    Explanation
    Torque is defined as the amount of load a machine can turn. It is the rotational force that causes an object to rotate around an axis. Torque is dependent on the force applied and the distance from the axis of rotation. It is commonly measured in units of Newton-meters (Nm) or foot-pounds (ft-lb) and is used to describe the turning ability or power of a machine.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which of the following units should be used in measuring the amount of turning force of a synchro?

    • A.

      Ounces

    • B.

      Pounds

    • C.

      Foot-pounds

    • D.

      Ounce-inches

    Correct Answer
    D. Ounce-inches
    Explanation
    The amount of turning force of a synchro should be measured in ounce-inches. This unit combines both the force (ounce) and the distance (inches) from the axis of rotation, providing a comprehensive measurement of the torque or turning force. Ounces alone do not account for the distance, while pounds and foot-pounds are more commonly used for larger forces and longer distances. Therefore, ounce-inches is the most appropriate unit for measuring the amount of turning force in a synchro.

    Explanation
    The term "error signal" applies to the output of a control transformer. In control systems, an error signal is the difference between the desired value and the actual value of a variable being controlled. In the context of a control transformer, the error signal represents any deviation or discrepancy between the desired output voltage and the actual output voltage of the transformer. This error signal is used to make adjustments and regulate the transformer's output to ensure it matches the desired value.
