The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?
a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions |
|
a bullseye level has only one bubble to center |
|
a standard level has only one bubble to center |
|
a standard level can measure across two dimensions |
Levels utlize a fluid-filled tube containing a bubble that is centered when the surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb) along the direction of the tube. While a standard level can measure along a single dimension, a bullseye level is circular and can indicate the levelness of a two dimensional plane.
What is a micrometer used for?
transferring dimensions between objects |
|
measuring the diameter of cylindrical objects with high precision |
|
ensuring that a surface is level |
|
measuring length around corners |
Micrometers provide accuracy to the thousandths of an inch and come in outside and inside varieties. An outside micrometer is used to measure outside thickness, such as the diameter of a bolt, while an inside micrometer is used to measure the inside dimension of an object, such as the diameter of the hole of a nut or the width of a channel.
You're replacing the hubcaps on a car. Which of the following are you most likely to use?
ball-peen hammer |
|
claw hammer |
|
rubber mallet |
|
wooden mallet |
A mallet is a hammer with a relatively large head, often made of rubber or wood. Both the size and material of the mallet head help prevent damage when striking more delicate surfaces.
Which of these saws is used with a miter box?
rip saw |
|
back saw |
|
crosscut saw |
|
hacksaw |
A miter box utlizes a back saw (a fine toothed saw with a rigid strip of steel opposite its blade edge) to make cuts in wood at a specified angle.
An arc-welder creates heat using:
natural gas |
|
high voltage electricity |
|
oxyacetylene |
|
propane |
Welding is a high-temperature process that involves melting the base metals in the objects to be joined to fuse them together. A filler metal is used to provide additional material to make up a joint that, depending on the weld type, can be stronger than the base materials alone. Oxyacetylene welding is a welding process that uses a torch fueled with oxygen and acetylene gases. Electric-arc welding utlizes electric current in a safer welding process (it doesn't involve burning explosive gases) that enables a wide variety of specialized applications like stick, MIG (metal inert gas), and TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding.
