    When any force causes a solid to change permanently, the solid is said to have

    • Passed the elastic limit

    • Lost the ability to expand

    • Failed to meet elastic limit

    • Passed the compression limit

    Correct Answer
    A. Passed the elastic limit
    Explanation
    When a solid is subjected to a force that causes it to undergo permanent deformation, it is said to have passed the elastic limit. This means that the solid has been stretched or compressed beyond its ability to return to its original shape and size once the force is removed. The elastic limit is the maximum stress or force that a material can withstand without undergoing permanent deformation. Once the elastic limit is surpassed, the solid will not be able to expand or return to its original state, hence losing its ability to expand.

    • Rigidity

    • Usability

    • Ability to compress within its container

    • Ability to conform to the shape of its container

    Correct Answer
    A. Ability to conform to the shape of its container
    Explanation
    The most outstanding characteristic of a liquid is its ability to conform to the shape of its container. Unlike solids, which have a fixed shape, liquids are able to take on the shape of their container. This is due to the fact that the particles in a liquid are not tightly packed together like in a solid, allowing them to flow and move around. Liquids can fill the space they are in and adjust their shape accordingly. This property is what distinguishes liquids from other states of matter.

    When an 8-square-inch piston moves 5 inches within a cylinder, the volume of liquid displaced will be

    • 4 cubic inches

    • 40 cubic inches

    • 400 cubic inches

    • 4,000 cubic inches

    Correct Answer
    A. 40 cubic inches
    Explanation
    When an 8-square-inch piston moves 5 inches within a cylinder, the volume of liquid displaced can be calculated by multiplying the area of the piston (8 square inches) by the distance it moves (5 inches). Therefore, the volume of liquid displaced is 8 square inches x 5 inches = 40 cubic inches.

    The principle, which states that as the velocity of a gas or liquid increases, pressure decreases, is

    • Hook's

    • Boyle's

    • Pascal's

    • Bernoulli's

    Correct Answer
    A. Bernoulli's
    Explanation
    Bernoulli's principle states that as the velocity of a gas or liquid increases, the pressure decreases. This principle is based on the conservation of energy, where an increase in velocity corresponds to a decrease in pressure. This principle is widely used in various fields, including aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, and engineering, to explain the behavior of fluids in motion.

    As fluid enters the narrow portion of a venturi,

    • It decelerates

    • It accelerates

    • Nothing happens

    • Pressure increases

    Correct Answer
    A. It accelerates
    Explanation
    As fluid enters the narrow portion of a venturi, it accelerates. This is because the narrowing of the venturi causes the fluid to flow at a higher velocity, according to the principle of continuity. As the fluid accelerates, its velocity increases while the pressure decreases, creating a pressure difference between the narrow and wider portions of the venturi. This principle is utilized in various applications, such as in carburetors to create a pressure difference that helps in atomizing fuel for combustion.

    When referring to hydraulic hand pumps, double-action means

    • Fluid-flow is created with each stroke of the pump handle

    • Fluid-flow is created with every other stroke of the pump handle

    • Double volume is displaced with each stroke of the pump handle

    • Double volume is displaced with every other stroke of the pump handle

    Correct Answer
    A. Fluid-flow is created with each stroke of the pump handle
    Explanation
    In hydraulic hand pumps, double-action means that fluid-flow is created with each stroke of the pump handle. This means that every time the pump handle is moved, fluid is forced through the system, creating a continuous flow. This is different from the other options, where fluid-flow is created either with every other stroke or where double volume is displaced with each stroke.

    Variable-volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because

    • They deliver low pressure

    • They have an integral compensator

    • The case drain will relieve high system pressure

    • There is no angle between the drive shaft and cylinder block

    Correct Answer
    A. They have an integral compensator
    Explanation
    Variable-volume pumps do not require a separate pressure-regulating device in the system because they have an integral compensator. An integral compensator is a built-in mechanism in the pump that automatically adjusts the flow rate according to the pressure requirements of the system. This means that the pump can regulate its own pressure without the need for an additional device.

    Cooler operation in a variable-volume hydraulic pump is provided by

    • Foot valves

    • Oil radiator

    • Creep plates

    • Fluid radiator

    Correct Answer
    A. Creep plates
    Explanation
    Creep plates provide cooler operation in a variable-volume hydraulic pump. Creep plates are designed to dissipate heat generated during the operation of the pump. They are placed in the pump's housing and act as heat sinks, absorbing and dispersing the excess heat. This helps in maintaining the temperature of the hydraulic fluid within acceptable limits, preventing overheating and ensuring efficient and reliable pump operation.
