Practice Questions
(For Test Purposes
Only – Not Intended to Represent an Actual Situation nor Any Existing Work
Materials, Equipment, Procedures or Other Sources)
Answer Questions 1 and
2 solely and strictly as they relate to the information in the “When Alpha
Machines Lose Their Capacity” paragraph below and NOT to any you are familiar
with.
When
Alpha Machines Their Capacity
Alpha machines
gradually lose their capacity to produce full output at their design ratings
for a number of reasons. One of the main
reasons for alpha machine capacity loss is the wear placed on the machine beta
components and delta components. This
wear comes about because of the constant operation of the alpha machine. When the beta components begin to wear down,
the alpha machine is not able to produce as much output as it could when the
beta components were new. When the alpha
machine delta components begin to wear out, the products of the alpha machine
can become defective. Some alpha
machines are equipped with a quantity and quality counter that allows the
mechanic to check the alpha machine output capacity and product quality on a
regular basis. If the output capacity or
product quality appears to be decreasing – even by a small amount – over this
period of time, the alpha machine should be adjusted. Once the capacity or quality of the alpha
machine decreases to 95 percent or less of its rated capacity, the alpha
machine should be scheduled for a major repair or replacement.
1.
After checking the alpha
machine capacity, a mechanic observes that the alpha machine capacity is 90
percent of its rated output capacity.
The correct action for the mechanic to take is to:
A. increase the size of
the alpha machine motor.
B. decrease the size of
the alpha machine motor.
C. schedule the alpha
machine for major repair or replacement.
D. install a second
alpha machine to boost the output of the alpha machine that is losing capacity.
E. None of the above.
2. An
alpha machine is not producing as much output as it did when the alpha machine
was first installed. The delta
components were recently replaced with brand new delta components. The likely source of the loss of capacity in
this instance is:
A. worn beta components.
B. worn delta components.
C. defective product.
D. insufficient voltage to the alpha machine.
E. None of the above.
Answer Questions 3 and 4 in reference to the written
procedure below.
XY-705
Equipment Start Up and Shut-Down Procedure
To start up and shut down the XY-705
equipment follow this procedure:
STEPS ACTIONS
A. Complete the START checklist.
B. Turn on the battery switch.
C. Turn on the fuel valve.
D. Turn on the start switch.
E. Allow the XY-705 equipment to slowly
gain speed.
G. Check the gauges to make sure that
XY-705 equipment is running within normal limits.
H. To shut down the XY-705 equipment,
press the red STOP button.
I. Allow the XY-705 equipment to
gradually slow down.
J. Turn off the fuel valve.
H. Turn off the battery switch.
I. Complete the shut down checklist.
3. A
mechanic starts up the XY-705 equipment by first turning on the start switch,
then turning on the battery switch, and then turning on the fuel valve. The action of the mechanic is:
A. Consistent with the procedure.
C. It is impossible to determine if the
action is consistent or inconsistent with the procedure. More information is needed.
4. When
shutting down the XY-705 equipment, a mechanic takes the following action in
this order: presses the red STOP button, allows the XY-705 equipment to slow
down gradually, turns off the fuel valve, turns off the battery switch, and
completes the shut down checklist. The
action of the mechanic is:
A. Consistent with the procedure.
C. It is impossible to determine if the
action is consistent or inconsistent with the procedure. More information is needed.
