Fctc Written Study Guide | Questions With Correct Answers
Latest Already Graded A+
1. Classes of Levers:
Class 1,
Class 2,
Class 3
1. Class 1 Levers: Fulcrum is in the middle, with the ettort (input) force on one side of the fulcrum and
resistance (output) on the other side.
Mechanical Advantage greater or less than 1
Ex: Seesaw, Crowbar, Pair of Scissors.
3. Class 2 Levers: Resistance is in the middle, the ettort is applied on one side of the resistance and the fulcrum
on the other side.
Mechanical Advantage always greater than 1
Ex: Wheelbarrow, nutcracker, hottle opener, or the brake pedal of a car.
4, Class 3 Levers: Ettort in the middle, the resistance is on one side of the ettort and the fulcrum is located on the
other side.
Mechanical Advantage always less than
1 Ex: Pair of tweezers, human mandible
5. Lever Definitions: Lever machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinged, or fulcrum.
, Input Force = Ettort
Output Force = Load or Resistance
6. What does "fre, 123" mean?: Fulcrum is in the middle
for Class 1 Levers
Resistance (output) in middle for Class 2
Ettort (input) in the middle for Class 3
1. Formula for Determining the head pressure difference between an intake and
output: 1 vertical foot = 0.433 psi
1 psi = 2.31 vertical feet
§. Overall Test Overview:: 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)
9. What subject should you start with first?: Start with Recall and Comprehend Technical
Information (35 questions) if allowed to. If not, then start with Solving mathematical questions (20 questions).
