Well I am sure it will come up sooner or later, afterall I am only 14, and I chose electronics for my GCSE in Technology so...

Pulleys not too likely to come up in Electronics
On the plus side, I got all the cogs/gearing questions right - good job too, logic fairly important in my job
@Ian - I have indeed, and must note that I have actually shown a greater interest in Parent's Night since my son got into P2... :wink: Miss Mackay (not her real name :biggrin
is very nice!

Hate the word cog, shows you do not know the right word doesn't it Dave ol' boy
The correct word is gear.

They were called cogs when I was at school, junior...
And do note the use of the term "cogs/gearing" (you even quoted it) which I believe demonstrates I am aware of the terminology in use.
Defence rests m'lud.

Sparkystav I can see what you mean about it
A downwards piston will create a vacuum, in physics the vacuum does not suck in air, its the force of atmospheric pressure filling the void of negative pressure inside the cylinder.
But I can understand the confusion.

*Technically* 'cogs' are the teeth. But there's also a bit of variance between British English and American English there as well.

Will stick with my plan of buying beer for the more mechanically minded :lol:
What you got against the word "cog" anyway Oli? Seems an awfully odd thing to try and one-up me over, seeing as I used both the term I'm familiar with and the "correct" one... heh must do better with witty retorts, Oli!
