Anyone getting ready for the RAF AST test should watch this for the fundamentals for the mechanical comprehension test. Very good at outlining the likely questions you will be answering
Sincerely thank you for this video and knowledge. This was my go to video for an aptitude test I needed to take and I passed reasonably well. And honestly this video helped greatly. Thank you.
I believe there are two errors in the mechanical horsepower section at the 7:29 mark. 1.) Mechanical horsepower is not the force necessary to move one pound a distance of one foot over one second. That is the definition for ft-lbs/sec. 2.) 500 ft-lbs/sec should be 550 ft-lbs/sec.
I was hesitant to watch this one because it declared itself the 'best'. However, this title is not unfitting. I've been unable to find any better resource for basic mechanics on youtube, or anywhere else for that matter. This is fantastic. Thank you so much!
Small corrections require. On a second class lever drawing the Effort distance should be from Fulcrum to Effort point (not from Resistance to Effort). Thanks,
You're welcome. We are glad you found the video helpful. We also have a great study guide for the Mechanical Aptitude Test on our website at www.mometrix.com/studyguides/mechanicalaptitude.
Is it really this easy? Only thing that messes me up here are units, in Australian physics we work in kilograms, meters and seconds (KMS) I was planning on going to university and doing a double degree, one in mechanical and the other in electrical engineering but I was offered entry to a vet course and to mechanical fitting and machining, they showed me what they did and I loved it Edit* if the engine puts out 90 but is only 90% efficient then wouldn't the final output be 90x0.9= 81? If it's 90% efficient it doesn't make sense that it would output more than it's capable of..
I thought the same thing. That question is phrased in a really confusing way. Like they were trying to trick us to get I wrong. I don’t know how they didn’t see I that way. If they worded it properly it would have been a super easy question that everyone would get right. “ A 100hp engine is currently only running on 90% efficiency. How much horsepower is lost?” That’s how they should have worded it.
Thank you for your video on basic mechanical principles. However, I have found a mistake on 7:28 (video time), in which you are saying that 1 mechanical horsepower can do 500 ft-lbs/sec while it should be corrected to 550 ft-lbs/sec. Thanks

Was tricked at 11:42. Felt for that answer, the sentence structure was incorrect. Should have read, "An engine running at 90% efficiency is producing 90HP. How much is lost. The way it reads here implies it runs at 90HP (as though that's it's rated) , but only running at 90% efficiency. Therefore 9% is your loss. HATE when I miss answers like this due to wording. Maybe I'm wrong. but, that is the way I read it.

The Ramsay mechanical aptitude test covers more specifics regarding certain tools and types of applications. This video series emphasizes the theory and general lessons in physics, so the overlap would be not as large as you should seek in a review. Sorry! Best of luck if you are preparing for the Ramsay!
Mometrix Test Preparation I’m confused to. This is on PULLEYS AND MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE...did you mean since N=MA=2 and 200/80 = 2.5 we would at least need N=MA to be = to 2.5 to be able to move package upward?

I disagree at 12:01 the loss of horsepower is actually 9 not 10. Man and you guys sent this to me as a study guide??? Your mathematical equation you're teaching me 90/.90=100... Actually this needs to be expressed 90 x .90 with total 81 horsepower output with a loss of 9 loss horsepower for your original question. BOO! Clicking away...

11:00 what is this solution actually solving for? force?

thought the exact same thing!!!!
I went to the comments for this exact reason
Why on the efficiency wouldn't you just go 100 multiply it by .90 instead of dividing then subtracting?
Is this the same as the applied technologies test?

bro i was out here thinking im crazy.
Hate to say it, but liquids are compressible. Although it takes a lot of pressure to do so, it is still compressible.
its generally considered "incompressible" due to the very small amount it can be compressed.

A hammer is a 1ST CLASS lever.
That's correct, when used to claw nails out. But when used to hit nails, it is a third class lever.
