Sample Practice Test Questions

Mechanical Comprehension

Which of the following is not a type of structural load?

occupancy load

Dead load is the weight of the building and materials, live load is additional weight due to occupancy or use, snow load is the weight of accumulated snow on a structure and wind load is the force of wind pressures against structure surfaces.

Mechanical Comprehension

On Earth, acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately __________. 

9.8 m/s2

Newton's Law of Univeral Gravitation defines the general formula for the attraction of gravity between two objects:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) . In the specific case of an object falling toward Earth, the acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s2

Word Knowledge
Veronique found that listening to French music was an antidote for her homesickness.
cure
Something that relieves or counteracts.
Mechanical Comprehension
If you have a gear train with three gears, the first with 24 teeth, the second with 16 teeth, and the third with 4 teeth, what is its mechanical advantage?
6

The mechanical advantage of a gear train is its gear ratio. The gear ratio (Vr) is the product of the gear ratios between the pairs of meshed gears. Let N represent the number of teeth for each gear:

Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) \( \frac{N_2}{N_3} \) \( \frac{N_3}{N_4} \) ... \( \frac{N_n}{N_{n+1}} \)

In this problem, we have three gears so the equation becomes:

Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) \( \frac{N_2}{N_3} \) = \( \frac{24}{16} \) \( \frac{16}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6

Automotive Information

Which engine component converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components?

crankshaft

The crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components.

Word Knowledge
Lorraine was in rhapsody when she was accepte to the college of her dreams.
ecstasy
State of great happiness.
Mechanical Comprehension

Sam can do 50 ft. lb. of work in 2 minutes and 5 seconds. What would Sam have to do to increase his power output?

do the work in 2 minutes

Power is the rate of doing work or \(\frac{W}{t}\). To increase power, increase the work being done in the same amount of time or do the same amount of work in less time.

General Science

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

domains

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.

Mechanical Comprehension

Lisa lifts a 25 pound box from the floor onto a loading dock 4 ft. off the ground. Sam slides the same box along a ramp to move it up another 4 ft. onto a flatbed truck. Who has done more work?

They have done an equal amount of work

Work is force multiplied by distance. Because both Connie and Sam moved the same weight the same distance they have done an equal amount of work. Sam employed the mechnacial advantage of an inclined plane so he exerted less effort to do the work but the amount of work done was still the same.

General Science

Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

breaking down starches

Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.
