Question 1 of 30
1. Question
Find the angle θ\thetaθ in a right triangle if the length of the side opposite the angle is 7 cm and the length of the hypotenuse is 25 cm.
Correct
To find the angle θ\thetaθ, use the sine function:
sin(θ)=OppositeHypotenuse=725\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{7}{25}sin(θ)=HypotenuseOpposite=257
Calculate θ\thetaθ:
θ=sin−1(725)≈25.8∘\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{7}{25}\right) \approx 25.8^\circθ=sin−1(257)≈25.8∘
Thus, the angle θ\thetaθ is approximately 25.8 degrees.

2. Question
A technical document specifies that a hydraulic cylinder should operate at a pressure of 1500 PSI and has a diameter of 5 inches. If the cylinder’s area needs to be calculated, what is the force exerted by the cylinder?
Correct
First, calculate the area of the cylinder:
Area=π(d2)2=π(52)2=π×6.25≈19.63 in2\text{Area} = \pi \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2 = \pi \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 = \pi \times 6.25 \approx 19.63 \text{ in}^2Area=π(2d)2=π(25)2=π×6.25≈19.63 in2
The force FFF is then:
F=Pressure×Area=1500 PSI×19.63 in2≈7850 lbsF = \text{Pressure} \times \text{Area} = 1500 \text{ PSI} \times 19.63 \text{ in}^2 \approx 7850 \text{ lbs}F=Pressure×Area=1500 PSI×19.63 in2≈7850 lbs
Thus, the force exerted by the cylinder is approximately 7850 lbs.

4. Question
A hydraulic pump has a flow rate of 20 liters per minute. If it operates for 3 hours, how much fluid does it pump in total?
Correct
Calculate the total volume pumped by:
Total Volume=Flow Rate×Time\text{Total Volume} = \text{Flow Rate} \times \text{Time}Total Volume=Flow Rate×Time
Convert 3 hours into minutes:
Time=3 hours×60 minutes/hour=180 minutes\text{Time} = 3 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 180 \text{ minutes}Time=3 hours×60 minutes/hour=180 minutes
Thus:
Total Volume=20 liters/minute×180 minutes=3600 liters\text{Total Volume} = 20 \text{ liters/minute} \times 180 \text{ minutes} = 3600 \text{ liters}Total Volume=20 liters/minute×180 minutes=3600 liters
Thus, the total fluid pumped is 3600 liters.

Question 5 of 30
5. Question
A block weighing 50 kg is placed on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.3. What is the frictional force acting on the block?
Correct
Frictional force FfF_fFf is calculated using:
Ff=μ×NF_f = \mu \times NFf=μ×N
where μ\muμ is the coefficient of friction (0.3) and NNN is the normal force. The normal force NNN is equal to the weight of the block:
N=m×g=50 kg×10 m/s2=500 NN = m \times g = 50 \text{ kg} \times 10 \text{ m/s}^2 = 500 \text{ N}N=m×g=50 kg×10 m/s2=500 N
Thus:
Ff=0.3×500 N=150 NF_f = 0.3 \times 500 \text{ N} = 150 \text{ N}Ff=0.3×500 N=150 N
Thus, the frictional force is 150 N.

7. Question
In a gear system, Gear A has 20 teeth and Gear B has 40 teeth. If Gear A rotates at 120 RPM (revolutions per minute), what is the rotational speed of Gear B?
Correct
The rotational speed of gears in a meshing system is inversely proportional to their number of teeth. Using the formula:
Speed of Gear B=Speed of Gear A×Number of Teeth in Gear ANumber of Teeth in Gear B\text{Speed of Gear B} = \text{Speed of Gear A} \times \frac{\text{Number of Teeth in Gear A}}{\text{Number of Teeth in Gear B}}Speed of Gear B=Speed of Gear A×Number of Teeth in Gear BNumber of Teeth in Gear A
Substituting the values:
Speed of Gear B=120×2040=120×0.5=60 RPM\text{Speed of Gear B} = 120 \times \frac{20}{40} = 120 \times 0.5 = 60 \text{ RPM}Speed of Gear B=120×4020=120×0.5=60 RPM
Thus, the rotational speed of Gear B is 60 RPM.

According to Pascal’s Principle, if a small piston with an area of 0.01 m² is used to apply a force of 100 N, what force will be exerted by a larger piston with an area of 0.2 m²?
Correct
Pascal’s Principle states that the pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted equally throughout the fluid. Pressure PPP is:
P=FAP = \frac{F}{A}P=AF

A technical manual indicates that the temperature of a machine should be maintained between 70°C and 80°C for optimal performance. If the current temperature is 65°C, what action should be taken?
Correct
The temperature should be maintained between 70°C and 80°C. Given the current temperature is 65°C, the temperature needs to be increased to fall within the optimal range:
