Summary
Mechanical engineering students learn about hoists and their uses. They see how hoists work, and how they are used in different fields.
Hoists in engineering
Hoists are devices for lifting or lowering loads. They can be operated manually or by electricity or air. They use wire rope, fiber or chain as the lifting medium.
Types of hoists
There are two main types of hoist: wire rope and chain. They can be built as one unit or custom-built. The choice depends on the use and how long it needs to last.
Vibration in engineering
Vibration is movement around an equilibrium point. It can be desirable, like in musical instruments, or undesirable, like in engines. It is closely related to sound.
Friction in engineering
Friction is a force that opposes motion. It is important in many engineering fields, such as transportation and household items. It can be measured using a tribometer.
