These systems help maintain the aircraft's stability and balance by adjusting the control surfaces to counteract any unwanted changes in pitch, roll, or yaw. By making small adjustments to the trim settings, pilots can ensure that the aircraft flies smoothly and maintains the desired flight path without the need for constant manual control inputs. This allows the pilot to focus on other aspects of flying and reduces the workload, making the flight safer and more comfortable.

    The law that states, "the distortion of any elastic body is proportional to the distorting force" is known as

    • A.

      Hook's law

    • B.

      Boyle's law

    • C.

      Pascal's law

    • D.

      Charles' law

    Correct Answer
    A. Hook's law
    Explanation
    Hook's law states that the distortion of any elastic body is proportional to the distorting force. This means that when a force is applied to an elastic object, such as stretching a spring, the extension or compression of the object is directly proportional to the force applied. This law is named after the physicist Robert Hooke, who first formulated it in the 17th century.

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

    • A.

      Passed the elastic limit

    • B.

      Lost the ability to expand

    • C.

      Failed to meet elastic limit

    • D.

      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.

    The most outstanding characteristic of a liquid is its

    • A.

      Rigidity

    • B.

      Usability

    • C.

      Ability to compress within its container

    • D.

      Ability to conform to the shape of its container

    Correct Answer
    D. 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.

    Pascal's law applies to

    • A.

      A fluid in motion

    • B.

      Confined fluid at reat

    • C.

      Fluids flowing through a restriction

    • D.

      Fluids subjected to high temperatures

    Correct Answer
    B. Confined fluid at reat
    Explanation
    Pascal's law states that when a fluid is confined and at rest, the pressure applied to the fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. This means that any change in pressure at one point in the fluid will be transmitted to all other points in the fluid. Therefore, the correct answer is "confined fluid at rest" as this is the scenario where Pascal's law applies.

    Among the first to study the compressibility of gases was

    • A.

      Hook

    • B.

      Boyle

    • C.

      Pascal

    • D.

      Charles

    Correct Answer
    B. Boyle
    Explanation
    Boyle was among the first to study the compressibility of gases. His experiments led to Boyle's law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at a constant temperature. This means that as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure increases, and vice versa. Boyle's contributions to the study of gas compressibility laid the foundation for further research in this field.

    The person who found that all gases expand and contract in direct proportion to the change in temperature, provided the pressure remains constant, was

    • A.

      Hook

    • B.

      Pascal

    • C.

      Charles

    • D.

      Bernoulli

    Correct Answer
    C. Charles
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Charles. Charles' law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, as long as the pressure remains constant. This means that as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume will also increase, and vice versa. Charles was the person who discovered this relationship between temperature and volume for gases.

    • B.

      200 pounds

    • C.

      250 pounds

    • D.

      300 pounds

    Correct Answer
    C. 250 pounds
    Explanation
    The resulting force can be calculated by multiplying the pressure exerted on the piston head by the area of the piston head. In this case, the pressure is 50 psi and the area of the piston head is 5 square inches. Multiplying these values gives us 250 pounds, which is the resulting force.

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

    • A.

      4 cubic inches

    • B.

      40 cubic inches

    • C.

      400 cubic inches

    • D.

      4,000 cubic inches

    Correct Answer
    B. 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.

    As fluid enters the narrow portion of a venturi,

    • A.

      It decelerates

    • B.

      It accelerates

    • C.

      Nothing happens

    • D.

      Pressure increases

    Correct Answer
    B. 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

    • A.

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

    • B.

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

    • C.

      Double volume is displaced with each stroke of the pump handle

    • D.

      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.

    • D.

      There is no angle between the drive shaft and cylinder block

    Correct Answer
    B. 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.
