Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

Torque involves a perpendicular force applied to a lever arm that moves around a center of rotation. Increasing the length of the lever arm will do which of the following?

increase torque

Torque measures force applied during rotation: τ = rF.  Torque (τ, the Greek letter tau) = the radius of the lever arm (r) multiplied by the force (F) applied. Radius is measured from the center of rotation or fulcrum to the point at which the perpendicular force is being applied. The resulting unit for torque is newton-meter (N-m) or foot-pound (ft-lb).

Math Knowledge

Solve for c:
c2 - 5c - 6 = 0

-1 or 6

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - 5c - 6 = 0
(c + 1)(c - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 1) or (c - 6) must equal zero:

If (c + 1) = 0, c must equal -1
If (c - 6) = 0, c must equal 6

So the solution is that c = -1 or 6

Mechanical Comprehension
What is the power output of a 9 hp engine that's 85% efficient?
4207.5 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
\( Efficiency = \frac{Power_{out}}{Power_{in}} \times 100 \)
Solving for power out: \( P_{o} = \frac{E \times P_{i}}{100} \)
Knowing that 1 hp = 550 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \), Pi becomes 9 hp x 550 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \) = 4950 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
\( P_{o} = \frac{E \times P_{i}}{100} = \frac{85 \times 4950 \frac{ft⋅lb}{s}}{100} \) \( = \frac{420750 \frac{ft⋅lb}{s}}{100} \) = 4207.5 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
Mechanical Comprehension

Two gears are connected and the smaller gear drives the larger gear. The speed of rotation will __________ and the torque will __________.

decrease, increase

Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change the rotational speed and torque of the input force. If the smaller gear drives the larger gear, the speed of rotation will be reduced and the torque will increase. If the larger gear drives the smaller gear, the speed of rotation will increase and the torque will be reduced.

Word Knowledge
The jewel thief entered the mansion under the pretense of fixing a leaky faucet.
cover
False intention or purpose.
Automotive Information

Which of the following is not an advantage that disc brakes have over drum brakes?

use less brake fluid

Brakes utlize friction to slow vehicle tires. Drum brakes employ a cast iron drum that roates with the vehicle axle. When hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake assemblies at the wheels, internal pistons expand and push brake shoes outward into contact with the brake drum slowing the rotation of the axle. More powerful disc brakes operate by pinching a rotating disc betweeen two brake pads and allow for a larger surface area to contact the disc, provide more force, and are more easily cooled.

Word Knowledge
Diffident most nearly means:
timid
Lacking self–confidence.
Word Knowledge
Some consider Clint Eastwood the greatest extant American director.
living
Currently existing.
General Science

Cellular fermentation takes place:

anaerobically

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.

General Science

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?

formed 2.6 billion years ago

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.
