Cargo Winch A winch is a mechanical device that is used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind out) or otherwise adjust the "tension" of a rope or wire rope (also called "cable" or "wire cable"). In its simplest form it consists of a spool and attached hand crank. In larger forms, winches stand at the heart of machines as diverse as tow trucks, steam shovels and elevators Capstan or Drum - A capstan is a vertical-axled rotating machine developed for use on sailing ships to apply force to ropes

Parallel resistor-capacitor circuits Using the same value components in our series example circuit, we will connect them in parallel and see what happens: (Figure below) Parallel R-C circuit. Because the power source has the same frequency as the series example circuit, and the resistor and capacitor both have the same values of resistance and capacitance, respectively, they must also have the same values of impedance. So, we can begin our analysis table with the same “given” values: This

Many people today question our education system. Many more of them will question education like colleges being worth it. With today’s job market and the cost to go to college, you might think it is not. A lot people in our society view higher education as an investment that will payoff in the long run but many others would tell you that you are just wasting time and money. The reason why colleges and university are worth the four plus years and the high cost of tuition is because

Cable vs. Fiber optical wiring is becoming a discussion that drives industries and businesses. It is a very important to understand the differences between the two types of cables and their abilities. The capabilities of these types of wires, prices, availability, and future uses are important factors to take into consideration when designing a layout for a building. Some other important variables to consider are how many people are trained to install the cabling and how durable that cabling is and

At a very young age, he started his own, first business called the Dream Institute which was an educational summer camp for fourth, fifth and sixth graders (bio., n/a). Bezos graduated from Princeton University in 1986, with a degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, after which he worked

divided equally among direct labor costs and burden despite the variety of services. As described in the case study, components significantly varied in number and type of electrical and mechanical testing required. For example, some components required six different flows through the facility while others only required electrical testing at room temperature (Seligram 1993 p 2). Therefore, ETO’s flaw is to assume that dividing costs equally will give them an accurate breakdown of their costs. As direct
