A. Benjamin Franklin
B. Hedy Lamarr
C. Isaac Newton
D. Mary Anderson
7. Answer #3 The answer to question #3 is A (Benjamin Franklin). He was the first to invent and successfully test the lightning rod.
8. Question #4 The main components of the engineering design process include identifying, defining, selecting, implementing, and:
A. deconstructing
B. debating
C. evaluating
D. enhancing
9. Answer #4 The answer to question #4 is C (evaluating). In the Engineering design process evaluating comes after implementing and the other options were not in the design process.
10. Question #5 The relationship of force, pressure and piston area in an air cylinder is represented by:
A. pressure = force – area
B. force = pressure x area
C. area = pressure/force
D. force = area + pressure
11. Answer #5 The answer to question #5 is force = pressure x area, because the formula for force is pressure times area or F=PA.
12. # 6 Calculate the flowout of a pipe per hour if there are 180 gallons per minute
13. #7 When specifying and identifying threads, what does the underlined number in
˝-13UNC-2A represent?
B.) Class of fit
14. #8 When a micrometer read 2.468 inches for a hole that is to be bored to 2.473 inches, the hole is considered:
2.473 – 2.468 = .005
D.) 0.005 inches undersize
15. #9
16. #10 Calculate the resulting downtime cost if there ares $3000 in lost production, $500 in spare parts, $250 in re-startup costs, $500 in lost energy costs, and $1000 in depreciation costs.
17. The Venn diagram, is a convenient way to illustrate definitions within the algebra of sets. Consider a Universal set with two subsets A and B. We may represent this as a rectange containing the universal set, with circles containing the elements of A and B.
18. #11
19. Spectrum works left to right
21. Question 15 Ľ x 242=60.5
22. 16 The government organization whose purpose is to set and enforce worksite safety and health standards is
A. OPM
B. EEOC
C. NLRB
D. OSHA
23. 16 Answer is D. OSHA which is the occupational safety and health administration
OPM stands for office of personnel management
EEOC is equal employment opportunity commission
NLRB is national relations labor board
24. 17 When storing gas cylinders, it is important that they be stored in
A. well ventilated areas
B. air tight areas
C. cool, damp areas
D. a horizontal position
25. 17 Answer is A. well ventilated areas
They need to be stored in well ventilated areas. If not a leak could result in and explosion or the gas could asphyxiate someone
26. 18 Surge protectors are installed on electrical equipment to protect equipment from
A. sudden power increases
B. sudden electromagnetic bursts
C. ultraviolet rays
D. drops in voltages
27. 18 Answer is A. sudden power increases
A surge is a sudden power increase
28. 19 Using Ohm’s law how much current is going through the following circuit?
15.5 volts 5 ohms resistance
A. 3.1 amps
B. 7.75 amps
C. 31.0 amps
D. 77.5 amps
29. 19 Answer is A. 3.1 amps
Ohm’s law is I=V/R
Amps = 15.5/5
Amps = 3.1
30. 20 In the DC circuit below, if R5 burns open, the total current
A. increases
B. decreases
C. remains the same
D. goes to zero
31. 20 Answer is B. decreases
Due to when you have a series circuit the total resistance is all the resistors added together, but by having a parallel circuit the resistance gets divided so by having the resistor removed or burning open that resistance is no longer dived causing it to be greater and the current to decrease.

33. Cierra’s Question # 21. What is the Fahrenheit equivalent for 35 degrees Celsius?
A. 87 degrees Fahrenheit
B. 95 degrees Fahrenheit
C. 102 degrees Fahrenheit
D. 115 degrees Fahrenheit
Answer: B. 95 degrees Fahrenheit
Explanation: The equation for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit is (9/5)xC+32. If you plug in the degrees Celsius (35) for C and do the equation, the answer comes out to be 95. To convert fahrenheit to celsius it is C=(F-32) x 5/9.
34. Odain’s Question
#22
A knitting a needle is an example of which type of simple machine.
A. lever
B. wedge
C. inclined plane
D. pulley
Lever-a rigid bar pivoted about a fulcrum
Wedge- any shape that is triangular in cross section
Incline plane- a simple machine for elevating objects; consists of plane surface that makes an acute angle with the horizontal
Pulley- Rotating wheel, which lifts heavy loads or aid in transmitting power, by use of the belt or cable hat fits into the rim around the wheel.
35. #23
Gauge pressure at sea level is
A. 0 psi
B. 3.14psi
C. 14.70 psi
D. 29.40 psi
36. Leon’s Question #24. The binary number 100101 equals:
A. 25
B. 37
C. 48
D. 52
Explanation: The number 1 represents a power of two. To find out what a number equals you add the powers of two according to it’s position in the binary number.
Answer: 20 + 22 + 25= 1+4+32= 37(B)
37. Christopher’s Question #25. A farad is a unit of ______
A. Capacitance
B. Current
C. Voltage
D. Resistance
Answer: A. Capacitance
Explanation: The answer is capacitance because the unit for current is the amp, the unit for voltage is volts, and the unit for resistance is the ohm.
