Sample Practice Test Questions

Word Knowledge
Derivative most nearly means:
banal
Lacking originality.
Mechanical Comprehension
10.5 ft. The green box weighs 10 lbs. and a 35 lbs. weight is placed 3 ft. from the fulcrum at the blue arrow. How far from the fulcrum would the green box need to be placed to balance the lever?
10.5 ft.

To balance this lever the torques on each side of the fulcrum must be equal. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum so the equation for equilibrium is:

Rada = Rbdb

where a represents the left side of the fulcrum and b the right, R is resistance (weight) and d is the distance from the fulcrum.

Solving for da, our missing value, and plugging in our variables yields:

da = \( \frac{R_bd_b}{R_a} \) = \( \frac{35 lbs. \times 3 ft.}{10 lbs.} \) = \( \frac{105 ft⋅lb}{10 lbs.} \) = 10.5 ft.

Mechanical Comprehension

For a hydraulic system, pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure in which parts of the system?

all of these are correct

Pascal's law states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. For a hydraulic system, this means that a pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure everywhere in the system.

Automotive Information

The fluid reservoir stores the __________ that the master cylinder uses to maintain hydraulic pressure.

brake fluid

The fluid reservoir stores the brake fluid that the master cylinder uses to maintain hydraulic pressure.

Automotive Information

What is the primary difference between internal and external combustion engines?

where the power is developed

The primary difference between internal and external combustion engines lies in where the power is developed. In an internal combustion engine fuel is ignited and burned inside the same container where the power is developed while in an external combustion engine the fuel is ignited outside the engine and the resulting power sent to it.

Word Knowledge
Some consider Clint Eastwood the greatest extant American director.
living
Currently existing.
Electronics Information

The hertz is a unit of measurement for:

frequency

The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.

Shop Information

Which of the following types of saws would you use if you needed to cut the wood quickly and weren't concerned with leaving rough edges?

rip saw

Wood saws are categorized primarily by their teeth. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.

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).

Word Knowledge
The stern principal canceled the prom after the seniors played a silly prank.
strict
Harsh, severe.
