Q16 asks how much force is required to life the weight but all the answers offered are in kg? Shouldn't they be in Newtons? :confused:

[redshift]

Or am I a sad git? I think I know the answer to that one too...

[Wideboy]

not just a simple wood worker :)

[dizzyblonde]

Perhaps a change of career is in order :lol:

[Seggons]

[Baph]

Wasn't really a test of mechanical knowledge/ability with wrenches though was it?

[missyburd]

92%.

Wasn't really a tech of mechanical knowledge/ability with wrenches though was it?

I ain't complaining I got all the lever ones right hehe

[454697819]

nope... I got the ideas right but I cant count so failed.. but didnt do all 50..

[TazDaz]

Then again I never claimed to be a mechanic...in fact I'm pretty useless with mechanics :)

[Lozzo]

96% - pass

[injury_ian]

pass :) phew, my jobs safe then

[Saint Matt]

84% and I'm a mechanic by trade lol, ah well, it is early morning.

[timwilky]

96% I wonder where I screwed up. then again it is over 27 years since I did my mech eng degree

[plowsie]

[G]

[Dangerous Dave]

96% - pass
Snap

[Luckypants]

I got 94 on the first go.

[Tiger 55]

So on the intake of a 4 stroke engine the air is pushed in by atmospheric pressure rather than sucked in by the piston? Well bugger me down dead!

Why isn't it called push-squeeze-bang-blow then?

Anyway, 76% fail - anybody want to buy a tool kit?

[Viney]

Bugger, i done it quickly and got 78%

[Flamin_Squirrel]

92%. Probably could have got 100 if I'd taken my time and actually read the questions properly :oops:

[injury_ian]

...quickly? you're obviously no mechanic... as that word clearly doesn't exist.

[Ceri JC]

I nearly got caught out by that one, but changed my mind last minute. I'm not sure, but isn't it because vaccums don't technically suck- it's that the air in the atmosphere expands into the empty space (hence that's where the force comes from). Think of how things like ram air work- it's an increase in the force shoving the air in, rather than an increase to the 'suck' of the vacuum.

Edit: I got 74%, 2 were wrong due to clicking the wrong option (rushing)and I realised as I hit submit.

[tigersaw]

90% Perhaps I shoulc change jobs

[Stig]

110%

[Paul the 6th]

60% i am a crap

[Quedos]

60% i am a crap

+1 and i did not have clue about most of it more luck than judgement - i'll stick to change the colour of bikes and not the mechanical bit!

[Tiger 55]

Ok, it should be expands-into-the-empty-space/squeeze/bang/blow then!

[flymo]

88% - my pulleys let me down :-(

[ThEGr33k]

90% Would be interesting to know which I got wrong... ON a couple I thought oh bugger clicked the wrong one as I clicked next. DOH.
