Machining Processes and Machine Tools

Machining is represented as the process in which an excessive amount of substance is eliminated from the particular element in the form of pieces. In machining, cutting tools such as rotary tools, lathe, drill press, grinder, chop saw, welders, and many more are applied to get the desired shape. As compared to other manufacturing processes, machining is precise and versatile.

A great pianist is getting ready for his concert and plan to move his exclusive grand piano to his concert venue. The 700 kg piano needs to be loaded onto a truck bed which is about 1.5 m high.1.Initially, the movers decide to use an adjustable ramp to move the piano. The ramp can only be adjusted up to 10 m long and the inclination angle must not exceed 20° to ensure a safe loading process. Determine the range of a suitable length and angle of the ramp. 2.On a second thought, the movers are considering whether it is easier to lift the piano straight up onto the truck bed or push it up along the rough the ramp. With the aid of an appropriate free body diagram, justify the most efficient option for the movers to load the piano to the truck bed with constant speed. State clearly all the assumptions made, and the principles used in the calculations to support your answers.
1. The piston hydraulic system can lift very heavy objects with a force significantly lower than that of direct lifting. Imagine a system in which the cross-sectional area of the piston is rectangular rather than a typical circle. The cross-sectional area of the small piston is 20 cm × 40 cm, while the cross-sectional area of the large piston is 2.5 meters × 6 meters. (a) How much force would need to be applied to the smaller piston to lift a 1300-kg car? (Ignore any height differences in the fluid) (b) Use proportional reasoning, order of magnitude, and/or related quantities sense-making techniques to determine if your answer to (a) is reasonable?

A fully loaded elevator cabin has a mass of 1200kg. In 3.0 minutes, the cabin must be raised to a height of 54 meters. Since the counterbalance has a mass of just 950kg, the elevator's engine must assist in balancing the cabin. What is the average power of the motor's tractive force operating on the cabin through a tow rope?
