2021 L2 Engineering Hydraulics Tools

 What are hydraulic tools?

Hydraulic tools powered tools that use pressurized fluid to operate the hydraulic machines. The fluid moves through tubes and into the tool's actuator, where the pressure stored in the fluid is transferred to the moving parts.


Different types of hydraulic power tools?
Hydraulic Riveters.
Hydraulic Pullers.
Hydraulic Pushers.
Hydraulic Presses.
Hydraulic Pumps & Cylinders.
Hydraulic Hoses & Accessories.
Hydraulic Motors.

How do they work?

Hydraulics uses a pump to pressurize hydraulic fluids compressing using a jack and lifting them up, allowing the jack to hold something up, under the pressure.


What safety precautions do you need to take

You must wear the correct PPE when you are using or around hydraulics like safety glasses, ear muffs, and covered footwear.


How do you maintain them? 

Brush and wipe clean all hydraulic connections before you insert them into a hydraulic pump or remote head. Always use fiber brushes when cleaning your hydraulic tools—never metal-bristled brushes.

English (Formal Persuasive Writing)

Is school the best place to make mistakes?

Without mistakes, you won’t succeed.

Mistakes help you get better at stuff, Mistakes won’t hurt as much as they hurt in real life, You can bounce back and learn from your mistakes, It is good to make mistakes, It is normal to make mistakes.

School is a time for teenagers to transition from childhood to adulthood, and mistakes will help them get there.

For instance, by making a mistake it is actually good in a way because it teaches you what not to do next time. It is not normal if you don’t make mistakes, Because everyone makes mistakes.

School needs to be a place that doesn't just teach the right answers; it should also be a place that teaches kids how to bounce back from failure. If they make mistakes, those mistakes won't hurt them as they would in real life. So If you make a mistake it is ok, because you can learn from it and mistakes help you succeed. 

Not only do mistakes help you learn, but they will also prepare you for your adulthood. By making mistakes you will know what is right and wrong, and you will make sure you won’t make that mistake again.

This shows that mistakes are just part of life and that everyone makes mistakes in life whether it be a small or big mistake.

But making too many mistakes at school can be bad because you could fail. 

By making too many mistakes at school or anywhere can lead to you failing or even worse like getting injured or even killed. For example, if you work at a construction site you could make a mistake and get injured. 

If you are struggling with something and you make a mistake you might not learn from these mistakes and fail.


Static images English

What is a static image?
Static Images are literally 'still pictures' that communicate a message. You are surrounded by static images every day to the point where you probably don't even notice them anymore. Static images communicate by combining visual elements with words. 



This static image is using a big red sign,
a hand, and the word STOP. This image is using visual elements with words to communicate with the viewer.The stop sign is using the colour red because red symbolizes warning and that there is danger ahead. Red is also used to get your attention because it is a high visibility colour.The sign is using big bold letters to tell you to stop. Bold letters are used to take up more space of the image so that it is easier to see. 




                                                                                                                       

In this image, we can see an advertisement for dallas farmers market, and a box of vegetables made to look like fries. This image uses lots of bright colors like yellow and red, but the most eyecatching colour is yellow. The image is using yellow to symbolize joy, attention, and energy.

The meaning of Pathos, Logos, and Ethos

Pathos: is an appealing of emotions. It is used to evoke an emotional response to a consumer, and it can also include emotions such as fear and guilt. For instance, The pathos of the Children's Crusade of 1212 only nerved him to fresh efforts. 

Logos: Logos is the persuasive technique that aims to convince an audience by using logic and reason. Also called “the logical appeal,” logos examples in advertisement include the citation of statistics, facts, charts, and graphs. It is used to show the statistics of something. For instance 'the immutability of God requires the eternity of the Logos and of the world'.

Ethos: Ethos is an argument that appeals to the audience by emphasizing the speaker's credibility and authority. Ethos is a way of appealing to an audience by showing one's credibility and ethical character. This is one of the three modes of persuasion in rhetoric, as distinguished by Aristotle, the other two being pathos and logos. For instance "As a doctor, I am qualified to tell you that this course of treatment will likely generate the best results."

Movies are better than books

Movies:
  • shows you how the characters look  
  • it is a lot quicker than reading
  • it can be more interesting
  •  more entertaining 
  • you can read the subtitles
Books:
  • they take longer 
  • gives you full detail on what a character is doing
  • they are not as entertaining
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Are movies better than books? i think movies are because they are more entertaining then books, you can see what is happening and what the characters look like they are shorter than books and if you like to read and watch than you can read the subtitles. Books give you full detail on what is happening in the movie but are not as fun as movies they make your brain hurt when you read it for to long. Movies make you feel like your really there because you can see everything that is happening and what the characters sound like

In some ways books are good because you can learn how to read from them and they take longer so you can enjoy it more. Books make you imagine what is happening in your head and are better for your eyes whereas movies are sometimes bad for you if you watch them all the time. Movies take a lot of effort to make because of the CGI and the actors have to make sure that every scene is perfect so that it looks real enough to believe. Books don't take as much effort to make because they are just words unless the book has pictures in it you have to draw out and plan what they look like

Books to me are just boring and take up more time and movies are quicker and much more entertaining to watch so if i could choose one i would choose movies just because they are fun and they are much easier than books.

Team sports are better than individual sports

Team sports:
It is easier working together.
if you win you can celebrate as a team. 
you get to learn how to work as a team.
teammates give you motivation to try your best.

Individual sports:

It can be hard because you don't have support from teammates.
in individual sports you don't learn to work as a team.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Team sports are better than individual sports

Are team sports better than individual sports? I think team sports are better because you have to work together as a team to win and you have to use strategies as a team to beat the opposition. I also think that team sports are a lot easier because you have teammates to help you and in individual sports you don't have any teammates to help you, you have to do everything yourself.


There are a lot more team sports than individual sports like basketball, rugby, football, cricket, volleyball and lot more but individual sports are only like tennis, golf and boxing 


It depends on what the person likes, if they like playing sports by themselves than they will like individual sports. But if they like working together in a team than they will like team sports a lot more. Individual and team sports are both great but i prefer team sports.

The South Island is better than the North Island

Good things about the South Island:                        Bad things about the South Island:
  • It is more flat than the north.                               The roads aren't as good as the north island.
  • There are more farms.                                         It is not as green as the north island.
  • It doesn't rain as much.                                        Transport is not as good as the north
  • City's in the south island are not as big.               
Good things about the North Island:                       Bad things about the North Island:
  • It is more green.                                                 More mountains.

  • Bigger city's.                                                      
  • Better Transport
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      The South Island is better than the North Island

Is the south island better than the north island. I think the south is better than the north because it is more flat and there are more farms and animals. There is also not as much people in the south because the south doesn't have very big city's it has more country. The south has a mix of everything it has mountains, forests, farm land and city's it also doesn't rain as much as the north that is why it is very dry and hot in the south island.


The north island it is more Big city's and is a lot more green because it rains heaps and it is cold. But there are some good things about the north island there is better transport and the roads are better and there are more things to do in the north.

Natural Environment (Plants & Animals)

All Zoos should be shut down to release animals back into their natural habitat

Points for: 
The animals will be in their own habitat and they can be free.
They wont have to be trapped in one place for the rest of their life.

Points against:
It will be dangerous for them to live out in the wild.
They will have to hunt to get food. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should all zoos be shut down to release all animals to their natural habitat

I think that Zoos should release all animals so that they can go back to their natural habitats so they can live by themselves and be free without being trapped inside a cage so that people can look at them all day. I think it will be better for the animals because they can experience what it is like to live in the wild and they can learn how to survive.

But there are some bad things about releasing all animals from zoos. If they release all the animals the population will go down because of all the animals that lived in the zoo wont know how to live in the wild

Living on the coast is better than living in the mountains

Points for:
You will be closer to the beach.
It will be easier to drive around.

Points against:
In winter it will be very cold.
If there is an earthquake there might be a tsunami.
There could be a flood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Is living on the coast better than living in the mountains

Both places to live are great but if i was to choose i would live on the coast because you are closer to the beach and It also will be a lot easier to drive home because there are no mountains to drive over. And in the summer when it is really hot you can just step out of your house and go for a swim. There are a lot of good things about living on the coast like swimming, going for walks, and hanging with friends. And if you have pets you can just go for a walk down the beach. But if you live in the mountains and you have pets there won't be many places to take them for walks because of all the uphill and downhills on the mountains.

But there are also bad things about living on the coast like if there is a earthquake there might be a tsunami or a flood. And in winter it will be very cold because of the ocean and the cold breeze coming off the water. but if you want to live in the mountains it will be very cold as well because you are at a high altitude. both places are very cold to live but i think still think that living on the coast is better.
