Why won't it let me copy the results and why doesn't it show me where I goofed?

should be a click thing in the lower left that lets u check your questions as u complete them. and at the very end there should be a thing next to the print in the top right of the screen.

Architecture is pretty close to Engineering so it wasn't too difficult for me.

I'm not that smart yet, but I did half way decent. Pretty difficult questions, and I would have done better, if i spent longer looking at them, and calculation things. I just didnt want to.

I got 96%. I feel like a failure :(

I got 7 & 38 wrong. 7 is kinda a trick as the definition of a "reverse" gear is not well known.

Stupid fans - I thought I figured it - doh!

Those gears in #7 got me too - every one of them but one would give "reverse" rotation on the output gear. It didn't occur to me that they were talking about reverse as in a standard tranny...

How'd you manage to get an odd score on a test with 50 questions? ;)

I don't understand the problems with question 7. That’s one I found easy NOT being able to figure out the "reverse" part. I just skipped "Reverse", and was a no brainer from there, simple process of elimination..

Direct is obviously C
Reduction is obviously A
Overdrive is obviously B

Reverse can ONLY be D... I didn’t understand WHY that one was reverse but it just had to be.

19 was one that gave me trouble

Because "A" reverses the driven gears rotation from it's own and "D" reduces the drive ratio - that's why!

On diagrams A,B, and C; the driven gear rotates in the opposite direction of the drive gear giving a "forward" momentum. With the extra cog between the 2 in Diagram D, the driven and drive gears rotate in the same "reverse" direction.

I apparently missed most of the questions on lifting pulleys. I was under the impression that each pulley reduced the load by 50%. High school was too long ago. :(

I did get the two "stable/unstable" right.:rolleyes:

Interesting - you counted the "spaces" and came up with a 5:1 ratio.

No, the correct answer is 100

300*1=X*3
X=100

edit: i counted each dash as half a unit of measure

they could have illustrated the problem better

Yeah, that's the problem, the spaces are "half distances".

If you assume the boxes are point masses and have a CG that is on the exact outward edge of the box, then you end up with 2:6 ratio. That would be a silly assumption.

A far more reasonable assumption is that the boxes are distributed masses and their CGs lie in the center. You end up with a 1:5 ratio.

You are 100% correct. That is what I thought too. When I saw that there was no option, I assumed that they put the boxes on wrong and they actually hang halfway off the ends ;)

Bottom line is the question is incorrect as written (along with a few others).
