A 48V forklift battery has individual 2V cells. There are how many cells?
-
12
-
18
-
24
-
48
Correct Answer
A. 24Explanation
Since each individual cell has a voltage of 2V, to achieve a total voltage of 48V for the forklift battery, there must be 24 cells. This is because 2V multiplied by 24 cells equals 48V.Rate this question:

What type of screwdriver is this?
-
Flathead
-
Phillips (Cross) head
-
Torx head
-
Hex head
Correct Answer
A. Phillips (Cross) headExplanation
The correct answer is Phillips (Cross) head. This type of screwdriver is characterized by a cross-shaped head with a single slot in each arm of the cross. It is designed to be used with Phillips head screws, which have a corresponding cross-shaped recess. The Phillips head screwdriver is commonly used in many applications, particularly in woodworking and construction, as it provides better torque transfer and reduces the risk of cam-out compared to flathead screwdrivers.Rate this question:

A combination spanner is a type of spanner that has open-end jaws on one end and a ring or socket on the other end. It is called a combination spanner because it combines the features of both an open-end spanner and a ring spanner. This allows it to be used for different types of nuts and bolts, making it a versatile tool.Rate this question:

You are broken down at night with a flat rear tire. In the frustration of fitting the spare, you kick all 4 wheel nuts into the scrub on the side of the road and lose them. What is the easiest way to get going quickly?
-
Call the dealer, get 4 new wheel nuts sent out the following morning.
-
Phone for a tow truck, hoping they can tow the car backwards.
-
Take 1 wheel nut off the other 3 wheels. Now they all have 3 wheel nuts.
-
Take 2 wheel nuts off the other back wheel. Now both rear's have 2 wheel nuts.
Correct Answer
A. Take 1 wheel nut off the other 3 wheels. Now they all have 3 wheel nuts.Explanation
The easiest way to get going quickly in this situation is to take 1 wheel nut off the other 3 wheels. By doing this, all the wheels will still have 3 wheel nuts, which is the minimum requirement for safe driving. This solution allows the person to continue their journey without having to wait for new wheel nuts or a tow truck.Rate this question:

What's larger is the diameter? (in inches)
-
3/8"
-
3/16"
-
3/4"
-
3/2"
Correct Answer
A. 3/2"Explanation
Among the given options, the largest diameter, measured in inches, is 3/2 inches (3/2"). This means that the size of the circular object with a 3/2-inch diameter is bigger compared to the objects with the other specified diameters, which are 3/8", 3/16", and 3/4". In this context, "diameter" refers to the measurement across the center of a circle or circular object, representing its width.Rate this question:

You have to remove a bolt with a 1/5" head, but you only have metric sockets. If we believe 1" is equal to 25.4mm, tell us the size socket which will most effectively remove the bolt?
-
10mm
-
12mm
-
13mm
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. None of theseExplanation
None of these options will effectively remove the bolt. Since the bolt has a 1/5" head, we need a socket size that is slightly larger than 1/5" in order to fit properly. Converting 1/5" to metric, we get approximately 5.08mm. Therefore, the closest socket size that will most effectively remove the bolt is 5.5mm, which is not listed as an option.Rate this question:

-
12mm
-
13mm
-
14mm
-
15mm
Correct Answer
A. 13mmExplanation
The bolt has a 1/2" head, which is equivalent to 12.7mm. Since the closest metric socket size to 12.7mm is 13mm, the 13mm socket will most effectively remove the bolt.Rate this question:

There are 2 x 100W driving lights attached to a vehicle. If they draw somewhat 8.3A, when switched on, tell us what voltage the vehicle is. Ohm's Law: Voltage = Load / Current
-
6V
-
12V
-
24V
-
48V
Correct Answer
A. 24VExplanation
The correct answer is 24V. According to Ohm's Law, voltage is equal to the load divided by the current. In this case, the load is 200W (2 x 100W) and the current is 8.3A. By substituting these values into the formula, we can calculate the voltage. Therefore, 200W / 8.3A = 24V.Rate this question:

When a 12V lead acid battery is discharged, what is the end state of the electrolyte (liquid)?
-
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
-
Water (H20)
-
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
-
Lead Sulphate (PbSO4)
Correct Answer
A. Water (H20)Explanation
When a 12V lead acid battery is discharged, the end state of the electrolyte (liquid) is water (H20). During the discharge process, the chemical reaction within the battery converts the sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in the electrolyte into water (H20) and lead sulfate (PbSO4). This is a reversible reaction, and when the battery is charged again, the lead sulfate is converted back into sulfuric acid, replenishing the electrolyte. Therefore, at the end of the discharge process, the electrolyte consists mainly of water.Rate this question:
