Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

What type of load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure?

non-uniformly distributed load

A concentrated load acts on a relatively small area of a structure, a static uniformly distributed load doesn't create specific stress points or vary with time, a dynamic load varies with time or affects a structure that experiences a high degree of movement, an impact load is sudden and for a relatively short duration and a non-uniformly distributed load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure.

Mechanical Comprehension
48.89 lbs. If A = 10 ft., B = 1 ft., C = 9 ft., the green box weighs 50 lbs. and the blue box weighs 60 lbs., what does the orange box have to weigh for this lever to balance?
48.89 lbs.
In order for this lever to balance, the torque acting on each side of the fulrum must be equal. So, the torque produced by A must equal the torque produced by B and C. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum which means that the following must be true for the lever to balance:

fAdA = fBdB + fCdC

For this problem, this equation becomes:

50 lbs. x 10 ft. = 60 lbs. x 1 ft. + fC x 9 ft.

500 ft. lbs. = 60 ft. lbs. + fC x 9 ft.

fC = \( \frac{500 ft. lbs. - 60 ft. lbs.}{9 ft.} \) = \( \frac{440 ft. lbs.}{9 ft.} \) = 48.89 lbs.

Mechanical Comprehension

Two or more pulleys used together are called:

block and tackle

Two or more pulleys used together constitute a block and tackle which, unlike a fixed pulley, does impart mechanical advantage as a function of the number of pulleys that make up the arrangement.  So, for example, a block and tackle with three pulleys would have a mechanical advantage of three.

Math Knowledge
21

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 7, what is the area?

21

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 7 = \( \frac{42}{2} \) = 21

Shop Information
chisels

These tools are called:

chisels

Wood chisels are used to shape or smooth wood surfaces. They come in a variety of widths and can be used with hand power or tapped with a mallet when deeper cuts need to be made.

Word Knowledge
Intricate most nearly means:
complicated
Having complex and interrelated parts.
Electronics Information

Which of the following is a characteristic of batteries connected in series?

total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages

You can multiply the voltage or the current supplied by individual batteries by connecting them together either in series or in parallel. The characteristics of batteries connected in series are that total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages, total current equals the average of the individual battery currents, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, and one connection is made between each adjacent battery.

Arithmetic Reasoning

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 143 pounds of food in 11 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 195 pounds?

4

If the tiger has consumed 143 pounds of food in 11 days that's \( \frac{143}{11} \) = 13 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 195 - 143 = 52 more pounds of food to reach 195 pounds total. At 13 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{52}{13} \) = 4 more days.

Math Knowledge

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

2(π r2) + 2π rh

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.

Automotive Information

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a __________ connected to the engine intake manifold.

vacuum booster

Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a vacuum booster connected to the engine intake manifold. This provides for much higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system than could be generated by the driver alone. Antilock brakes (ABS) use speed sensors and adjust the brake pressure at each wheel to prevent skidding and allow the driver more steering control in slippery conditions.
