Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

A shovel is an example of which class of lever?

third

A third-class lever is used to increase distance traveled by an object in the same direction as the force applied. The fulcrum is at one end of the lever, the object at the other, and the force is applied between them. This lever does not impart a mechanical advantage as the effort force must be greater than the load but does impart extra speed to the load. Examples of third-class levers are shovels and tweezers.

Math Knowledge
73°

If angle a = 68° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle c?

73°

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 68° - 39° = 73°

Mechanical Comprehension
3.13 ft. A = 5 ft., the green box weighs 50 lbs., and the blue box weighs 80 lbs. What does distance B need to be for this lever to balance?
3.13 ft.
In order for this lever to balance, the torque acting on side A must equal the torque acting on side B. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum which means that the following must be true for the lever to balance:

fAdA = fBdB

For this problem, the equation becomes:

50 lbs. x 5 ft. = 80 lbs. x dB

dB = \( \frac{50 \times 5 ft⋅lb}{80 lbs.} \) = \( \frac{250 ft⋅lb}{80 lbs.} \) = 3.13 ft.

Word Knowledge
Placebo most nearly means:
sugar pill
An inactive substance used in medical testing.
General Science

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

ion

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.

Electronics Information

Using a fuse with a current rating higher than that required by a circuit:

makes the circuit less safe

A fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that stops current flow in a circuit in response to a larger than intended electric current flow. Using a fuse with a higher current rating than required by a circuit is less safe as it could potentially allow overcurrent and risk a fire or heat-related equipment damage.

Automotive Information

Both intake and exhaust valves are closed as the piston begins moving back up from the bottom of the cylinder, compressing the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber which also makes it hotter. This describes which engine stroke?

compression

During the compression stroke, both intake and exhaust valves are closed as the piston begins moving back up from the bottom of the cylinder (bottom dead center or BDC). This compresses the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber which also makes it hotter.

Automotive Information

Which of the following regulates the flow of coolant through the radiator?

thermostat

The thermostat controls coolant (and, through it, engine) temperature by regulating the flow of coolant through the radiator. A bypass tube allows coolant to bypass the radiator and flow back into the water pump when its temperature is low enough that the thermostat is closed.

Mechanical Comprehension

Tension is a force that does which of the following?

stretches an object

Tension is a force that stretches or elongates something. When a cable or rope is used to pull an object, for example, it stretches internally as it accepts the weight that it's moving. Although tension is often treated as applying equally to all parts of a material, it's greater at the places where the material is under the most stress.

General Science

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

oxygenated, high

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
