What do the two dials on the car represent?
1 Answers
The two dials on the car display the following information: the upper one shows the distance traveled since the last refueling, while the lower one indicates the total accumulated mileage of the vehicle. Additional details about the speedometer and odometer are provided below: 1. Introduction: Traditional speedometers are mechanical, typically connected via a flexible shaft containing a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft attaches to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable, which in turn rotates a magnet inside the speedometer housing. The housing is linked to the needle, and a hairspring keeps the needle at zero. The speed of the magnet's rotation affects the magnetic field strength, disrupting the balance and causing the needle to move. 2. Location: The speedometer displays the car's speed in km/h (kilometers per hour). The odometer actually consists of two meters: one for speed and another for distance. The car's odometer is positioned directly in front of the driver's seat.
