Question

Why do people sometimes put grease or oil on machine parts to lubricate them?

Open in App
Solution

The grease puts a layer of lubricant between the parts so that they slide past one another easily.When friction is reduced in machines, parts don't wear away as quickly and , therefore, they last longer.
