Mechanical Aptitude Test
Was posted in alt.machines.cnc... But doesn't seem to have migrated over
here yet... http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/quizze...alAptitude.php I scored a 430... I've got the unfair advantage over some of you of being trained here on the job... But never had schooling in most of this so... Share your score with us... No shame or bragging rights, just a fun test.

Mechanical Aptitude Test
Hey Joe,
I got one wrong. And I couldn't believe it!!!!!!!! All my working life had to do daily with worms and worm-gears, and I GOT IT WRONG!!!!!! The Union will want my Mechanics card back!! Thank goodness I retired before they found out how dumb I really was!! Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. LOL... I corrected my answer on that one before I "sent" it. I had to visualize a screw going into a threaded hole and the force it would generate if it were self-tapping... Then translate that to what it would do to the other part... I never took physics... Except for a 15 minute "thing" last night on DVD canned "Standard Dievients" which was REALLY annoying. -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 01.908.542.0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com V8013-R |

Thank goodness I retired before they found out how dumb I really was!! Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. Don't feel bad - I got the darn worm gear wrong too. Scored 470. Fan turningsame direction or opposite? ambigous question, in a way. fan 1 clockwize. fan 2 clockwise from which end??? And the darn balloon. Ambiguous question. Didn't say it was the SAME gas in each balloon, but when you see their answer you know what the question was. The 3 balloons are not side by side. They are the SAME balloon in different atmospheric conditions. All in all the questions were a bit poorly worded. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

BIG SNIP All in all the questions were a bit poorly worded. Hey Clare, Too true!! But it was fun. I really did want to pick the one where a weight was being held up "by hand" versus pulled over a sheave from one of two angles. ( I think that it was question # 15 .) With no proviso in the wording that the sheaves had zero friction, the answer I gave should have been wrong, as I picked the answer that all three were the same force. But I "guessed" at what the point being made was, realizing it was only rhetorical after noticing that it was kind of a limp-wristed grasp of a line by just one "hand" that was holding up that 150 pounds. At least nobody I know! Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. |

I've been meaning to do that, but can't see the doctor's address in the phone book ........ Steve ;-) On a side note..I ordered two pair of glasses from Zenni Optical a month ago. Im still waiting for them, but a fast call to the US office indicated that they should be here any day, as they were shipped. Gunner |

I've looked at that worm gear question another time after a respected coworker of mine also got it wrong, and I'm not convinced that the "right" answer is right. Either that or there's some Escher kind of thing going on with that drawing. |

Either that or there's some Escher kind of thing going on with that drawing. Hey Dave, Naw, they have it correct. It was just me. Just for fun, draw a series of parallel diagonal lines, top left to lower right. If that were the "threads" of a screw, you would be drawing a right-hand thread, with the head of the bolt on the right-hand side. Now pull the top of the lines "down", as indicated by the arrow showing rotation direction on the drawing. That moves the "centre" of each line to the left. The same motion if it were a bolt would be to loosen or remove the bolt. The "bolt" in this case is trapped, and while it can turn, it cannot move left or right, so the force is applied to the nut (worm-gear), and would therefore push it away. Pushing "away" on the top of the worm-gear causes it to rotate Counter-Clock-Wise. |
