  1. In a system of two meshing spur gears, the driver has 12 teeth and the driven gear has 36 teeth. What is the gear ratio?

    Answer: 1:3

    The ratio of driver to driven teeth is 12:36, which simplifies to 1:3.

  2. When two external spur gears mesh, how do their directions of rotation compare?

    Answer: They rotate in opposite directions

    Two externally meshing gears always turn in opposite directions.

  3. A first-class lever has the fulcrum located where relative to the effort and load?

    Answer: Between the effort and the load

    In a first-class lever the fulcrum sits between the applied effort and the load.

  4. Which simple machine is a wheel and axle BEST described as?

    Answer: A rotating lever

    A wheel and axle acts as a continuously rotating lever about its center.

  5. Increasing the diameter of a pulley driven by a fixed-speed belt will do what to the pulley's rotational speed?

    Answer: Decrease it

    A larger driven pulley turns slower than a smaller one at the same belt speed.

  6. A 100 lb load is lifted using a single movable pulley. Ignoring friction, what effort force is required?

    Answer: 50 lb

    A single movable pulley halves the effort, so 50 lb lifts the 100 lb load.

  7. In a hydraulic system, pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted how?

    Answer: Equally in all directions

    Pascal's principle states pressure in a confined fluid transmits equally in every direction.
