    For an aircraft with a hydraulic system that operates above 3000psi, the fluid line is most likely to be

    • Pure aluminum tubing

    • Stainless steel tubing

    • Aluminum allot tubing

    Correct Answer
    A. Stainless steel tubing
    Explanation
    For an aircraft with a hydraulic system that operates above 3000psi, stainless steel tubing is the most likely choice for the fluid line. This is because stainless steel has high strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for handling high pressure and ensuring the integrity of the hydraulic system. Pure aluminum tubing may not have the necessary strength to withstand the high pressure, while aluminum alloy tubing may not provide sufficient corrosion resistance. Therefore, stainless steel tubing is the preferred option in this scenario.

    Identification of corrosion for aluminum alloy is present in ______ colour

    • White

    • Greenish film

    • Red

    Correct Answer
    A. White
    Explanation
    Corrosion on aluminum alloy is typically identified by the presence of a white color. This white film is a result of oxidation and the formation of aluminum oxide on the surface of the alloy. As aluminum reacts with oxygen in the air, it forms a protective layer of aluminum oxide, which appears as a white powdery substance. This white corrosion is a common indication of deterioration and can be used to identify the presence of corrosion on aluminum alloys.

    2024 DD alloy rivets are kept in refrigeration to

    • Remove any internal stresses caused by cold working

    • Prevent the rivets from age hardening

    • Allow the rivets to age harden

    Correct Answer
    A. Prevent the rivets from age hardening
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to prevent the rivets from age hardening. Age hardening is a process in which a metal alloy becomes harder and stronger over time due to the precipitation of solute atoms. By keeping the 2024 DD alloy rivets in refrigeration, the temperature is lowered, which slows down the aging process and prevents the rivets from becoming overly hardened. This helps to maintain the desired properties and performance of the rivets.

    A pulley system has an efficiency of 80% with a velocity ratio of 15, the force required to lift a load of 290kg is

    • 24.2kg

    • 34.80kg

    • 23.2k

    Correct Answer
    A. 24.2kg
    Explanation
    The efficiency of a pulley system is defined as the ratio of output work to input work. In this case, the efficiency is given as 80%. The velocity ratio is the ratio of the distance moved by the effort to the distance moved by the load. Given that the velocity ratio is 15, it means that for every 15 units of distance moved by the effort, the load moves 1 unit of distance.

    To calculate the force required to lift the load, we can use the formula:

    Force = (Load / Velocity Ratio) / Efficiency

    Plugging in the values, we get:

    Force = (290 kg / 15) / 0.8 ≈ 24.2 kg

    Therefore, the force required to lift the load of 290 kg is approximately 24.2 kg.

    • Are interchangeable with the metric threads

    • Have BA and BSF threads

    Correct Answer
    A. Use UNC or UNF threads
    Explanation
    Fasteners in the AN, NAS, MS series use UNC (Unified Coarse) or UNF (Unified Fine) threads. These threads are standardized and widely used in the United States for fasteners. They are not interchangeable with metric threads, which have a different thread pitch and diameter. Additionally, the fasteners in the AN, NAS, MS series do not have BA (British Association) and BSF (British Standard Fine) threads, as these are British thread standards. Therefore, the correct answer is that fasteners in the AN, NAS, MS series use UNC or UNF threads.

    What is the main purpose of a matrix in a composite?

    • To withstand load from the fibre

    • To accommodate fibre in a better pattern

    • To transfer stresses to the fibre

    Correct Answer
    A. To transfer stresses to the fibre
    Explanation
    The main purpose of a matrix in a composite is to transfer stresses to the fiber. In a composite material, the matrix acts as a medium that holds the fibers together and distributes external loads or stresses to the fibers. The matrix material is typically weaker and more ductile than the fibers, allowing it to absorb and transfer stresses to the stronger fibers, thereby enhancing the overall strength and performance of the composite material.
