100 Basic Terms For Mechanical Engineering ( PDF DOWNLOAD )



1.Torque or Turning Force:
It is the total amount of force which is required to create acceleration on moving substance.



2.Couple:
Two forces those acts on equally,parallely & oppositely on two separate points of same material.
3.Mass :
The quantity of the matter possessed by a body is called mass. The mass of a body will not change unless the body is damaged and part of it is physically separated. When a body is taken out in a space craft, the mass will not change but its weight may change due to change in gravitational force. Even the body may become weightless when gravitational force vanishes but the mass remain the same.


4.Moment:
It is the amount of moving effect which is gained for action of turning force.
