Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension
How much resistance could a 190 lb. effort force lift using a block and tackle pulley that has 8 ropes supporting the resistance?
1520 lbs.

The mechanical advantage (MA) of a block and tackle pulley is equal to the number of times the effort force changes direction. An easy way to count how many times the effort force changes direction is to count the number of ropes that support the resistance which, in this problem, is 8. With a MA of 8, a 190 lbs. effort force could lift 190 lbs. x 8 = 1520 lbs. resistance.

Mechanical Comprehension

For any given surface, the coefficient of static friction is ___________ the coefficient of kinetic friction.

higher than

For any given surface, the coefficient of static friction is higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction. More force is required to initally get an object moving than is required to keep it moving. Additionally, static friction only arises in response to an attempt to move an object (overcome the normal force between it and the surface).

General Science

Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:

meteorites

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.

Mechanical Comprehension

Boyle's law defines the relationship between pressure and volume as:

\(\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{V_2}{V_1}\)

Boyle's law states that "for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional". Expressed as a formula, that's \(\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{V_2}{V_1}\)

Word Knowledge
Compulsion most nearly means:
urge
An irresistible impulse.
Math Knowledge

Solve for x:
2x + 2 < 8 - 8x

x < \(\frac{3}{5}\)

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

2x + 2 < 8 - 8x
2x < 8 - 8x - 2
2x + 8x < 8 - 2
10x < 6
x < \( \frac{6}{10} \)
x < \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Word Knowledge
Advantageous most nearly means:
favorable
Giving an advantage.
Word Knowledge
Thelma tended to polarize discussions rather than to encourage compromise.
divide
To break up into opposing groups.
Mechanical Comprehension

The force exerted on an object due to gravity is called:

weight

Mass is an intrinsic property of matter and does not vary. Weight is the force exerted on the mass of an object due to gravity and a specific case of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Replace force with weight and acceleration with acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) and the result is the formula for weight: W = mg or, substituting for g, weight equals mass multiplied by 9.8 m/s2.

Mechanical Comprehension

The advantage of using a third-class lever is that it increases:

the speed of the load

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.
