Inside and outside micrometers measure inside and outside:

71% Answer Correctly

angles

diameters

lengths

tolerances


Solution

Micrometers measure the diameter of cylindrical objects. Outside micrometers measure the external diameter of cylinders and inside micrometers measure the internal diameter of the cylinder's hole.


2

Which of the following tools are you more likely to use when woodworking?

85% Answer Correctly

rivet

punch

chisel

wrench


Solution

A chisel has a long sharp edge and is used, often in conjunction with a hammer, for cutting. In woodworking, chisels are used to remove large sections of wood to create the initial shape of a design. In metalworking, chisels are used to remove waste metal when a smooth finish is not required.


3

Which of the following determines whether a socket can be used with a particular ratchet?

50% Answer Correctly

the drive circumference

the point size

the drive size

the socket size


Solution

A ratchet (or socket wrench) is a wrench that applies torque in only one direction with a handle that can be moved back and forth without losing contact with the fastener. A ratchet uses variable attachments called sockets which come in a variety of drive sizes based on the size of the opening that attaches to the ratchet. Sockets with the same drive size will vary in the shape (six-point, twelve-point) and size of the nut opening that attaches to the fastener being tightened or loosened. Smaller point sized sockets are stronger and can apply greater torque while larger point sizes allow easier alignment.


4

Which of the following is not a type of electric-arc welding?

70% Answer Correctly

stick

oxyacetylene

TIG

MIG


Solution

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.


5

Which of the following is not an advantage of using a ratchet with a larger point-sized socket?

35% Answer Correctly

all of these are advantages of larger point sizes

larger point sizes allow easier alignment

larger point sizes are stronger

larger point sizes allow greater toque to be applied
