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.
Mechanical horsepower is defined as the ability to do work at a rate of 550 foot-pounds per second, not 500. It's probably just a typo as that happens with human error sometimes but it's something to make note of considering the principle.
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
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!
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.
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.

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,
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...
The short ton (also known as net ton) equals to 2000 pounds and used in north america (united states and canada), the long ton (also known as weight or gross ton) is used in the imperial system (UK and some of the other english speaking countries) and defined as 2240 pounds or 1016 kilograms. We are using the 2000 lb conversion since we are in North America. Hope this helps. For more review, check out our Mechanical Aptitude Study Guide at www.mo-media.com/mechanicalaptitude/.

This js the best video detailing the mechanical aptitude test. Once you go through this, you will learn enough
I really enjoy these videos. He breaks them down into layman's terms. Outstanding
I’m going to take the test tomorrow guys . I am going to watch this all day and tomorrow. Keep you guys posted .
so what happend?
Didn't keep us posted. Can only mean one thing :( @@eusgold

You are right!! might be a typo though. He does mention that it is equal to 33,000 ft-lbs/MIN. Which, if you do the math, is equal to 550 ft-lbs/sec.

This video is helping tremendously!!
middle drawing chart may need corrections as well.
Thanks,
Oops! They misspelled it as Electrical Horspower at 7:00.
I appreciate this very much. God bless.
Thanks for the thoughts you have provided here.
the question at 11:30 is kind of misleading, I assumed 90hp was its max output, and it was running 90% of that output.
very good and very effective :) thumbs up

8:41 google says 2204lb = 1 metric tonne, you'd need 8hp.

I'm not sure I buy the hammer is a third class lever example, but can live with the baseball bat analogy.
great video its very helpful excellent job thanks for sharing
Why on the efficiency wouldn't you just go 100 multiply it by .90 instead of dividing then subtracting?
Will this help for the Ramsay mechanical aptitude test ?

@8:47 mark
Where does he get 2000 from? I lost him there
Bro I bought your book from Amazon, If i understand it, am I gonna pass or its not enough for AME E program ? Question 14:52 n should be 2.5
1 mechanical horsepower can displace 550 ft-lbs in a second, not 500
This is great! Would be greater using the metric system though. Nothing like a nice clean bunch of zeros after a single number. Get around it ;)

thanks man
In horse power and mechanical advantage I’m not understanding where u got 2000 to multiply it by 115.5.

What time in the video are you referring to?
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?
@@MometrixTestPrep referring to 14:52 in the video if you do 200/80 wouldn't that be a MA of 2.5 ?
ohhhh never mind I get it he'd need another leg on the pulley system
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.

14:05 isn’t explained well. 200/80 is 2.5 but you have 2 ropes, therefore the answer is no. Isn’t beacause N is 2… besides 12:10 is incorrect, 9hp is the right answer. And people commenting that this actually helps; it just makes you dumber and confused.
Ironic most fools watching this store eggs in the fucking fridge.
Horsepower question is far from a correct answer.
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.
