FCTC WRITTEN EXAM 2023-2024 ACTUAL EXAM 100
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
WITH RATIONALES (VERIFIED ANSWERS)
|ALREADY GRADED A
What does "fre, 123" mean? - ANSWER- Fulcrum is in the middle for
Class 1 LeversResistance (output) in middle for Class 2Effort (input) in
the middle for Class 3
Formula for Determining the head pressure difference between an intake
and output - ANSWER- 1 vertical foot = 0.433 psi
1 psi = 2.31 vertical feet
Overall Test Overview: - ANSWER- 1) 30-minute period to read 2
essays- 2-hour time limit begins to answer (100 questions).
2) Watch 2 short videos and answer (20 questions) based on the
scenarios.
3) Apply mechanical reasoning (25 questions, i.e. Fluid Dynamics,
levers, belt and pulleys, gears)
4) Mathematical Problems (20 questions, i.e. addition, division, angles,
area, volume, decimals, ratios, percentages)
5) Recall and Comprehend Technical Information (35 questions, recall
from first two essays, in addition to one or two more at this time)
, Be mindful of questions with absolutes. What are some absolutes and
why watch out for them? - ANSWER- Examples of absolutes are
"absolutely, always, forever, completely, infinite, never, only, sole,
undeniable, or wholly".Absolutes or any sort of broad statements should
be suspected as wrong.
Recall and Comprehend Technical Information - ANSWER- - Read one
to four essays
-35 questions total (including questions for essays in back of the test
booklet)
- notes can be written on the essay packet, NOT any other testing
material.
- 15 - 20 questions from these essays were handed out in the first 30
minutes.
Gear Train, or commonly called "Transmission" - ANSWER- Two or
more gears working in a sequence, producing mechanical advantage
through a gear ratio.
Relationship between Speed, Torque, and Power: - ANSWER- Power =
2pi x Speed (w) x Torque (nm)/ 60
Torque = 60 x Power (kW)/2pi x Speed (Rpm)
Belt and Pulley Systems - ANSWER- Two or more pulleys in common
to a belt. If the pulleys are of differing pitch diameters, a mechanical
advantage is realized. Doesn't depend on ratio of teeth as with gears and
sprockets, only pitch diameter.
