Questions and Answers

1.

An aircraft taxiing at a steady speed can be used to demonstrate?
- A.
  
  Bernoulli's principle
- B.
  
  Newton's first law of motion
- C.
  
  Newton's second law of motion
- D.
  
  Newton's third law of motion
Correct Answer
B. Newton's first law of motion

Explanation
An aircraft taxiing at a steady speed can be used to demonstrate Newton's first law of motion. Newton's first law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, the aircraft is in motion and continues to move at a steady speed unless a force, such as friction or wind resistance, acts upon it.

2.

Which law may you sum up with two words: action and reaction?
- A.
  
  Bernoulli's principle
- B.
  
  Newton's first law of motion
- C.
  
  Newton's second law of motion
- D.
  
  Newton's third law of motion
Correct Answer
D. Newton's third law of motion

Explanation
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that any force exerted on an object will result in an equal force exerted in the opposite direction. In other words, if an object pushes or pulls on another object, the second object will push or pull back with the same amount of force. This law can be summed up with the words "action" and "reaction" because it describes the relationship between the two forces.

- C.
  
  Grooves
- D.
  
  Brinelling
Correct Answer
C. Grooves

Explanation
When small particles of foreign material become lodged between the rollers of a bearing, it can lead to the formation of grooves. These grooves are a type of defect that can occur on the surface of the bearing. The presence of these grooves can cause uneven wear and tear on the bearing, leading to reduced performance and potentially causing the bearing to fail prematurely. Therefore, grooves are a common type of defect that can occur due to the presence of foreign particles in bearings.

- A.
  
  Bands
- B.
  
  Galling
- C.
  
  Grooves
- D.
  
  Brinelling
Correct Answer
B. Galling

Explanation
Galling is a type of bearing defect that occurs due to inadequate lubrication. When there is not enough lubrication between the moving parts of a bearing, friction and heat increase, leading to metal-to-metal contact. This causes the surfaces to seize and tear, resulting in galling. Galling can cause damage to the bearing and result in reduced efficiency and premature failure.

Before you install separable bearings, you must ensure the?
- A.
  
  Rollers are servicable
- B.
  
  Bearings are a matched set
- C.
  
  Rollers are properly positioned
- D.
  
  Parts are positioned and serviceable
Correct Answer
B. Bearings are a matched set

Explanation
Before installing separable bearings, it is important to ensure that the bearings are a matched set. This means that the bearings should be of the same size, type, and design. Using mismatched bearings can lead to uneven load distribution, increased friction, and premature wear, which can ultimately result in bearing failure. Therefore, it is crucial to verify that the bearings are a matched set before installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

To cause an accessory in a jet engine to operate at its most optimum speed, design engineers must?
- A.
  
  Change the gear ratio
- B.
  
  Change the govenor settings
- C.
  
  Install an additional set of drive gears
- D.
  
  Adjust the operating speed of the engine
Correct Answer
A. Change the gear ratio

Explanation
To cause an accessory in a jet engine to operate at its most optimum speed, design engineers must change the gear ratio. This is because the gear ratio determines the relationship between the speed of the engine and the speed at which the accessory operates. By adjusting the gear ratio, engineers can ensure that the accessory operates at the desired speed, maximizing its efficiency and performance. Changing the governor settings or adjusting the operating speed of the engine may not directly impact the speed of the accessory, while installing an additional set of drive gears may not be necessary if the desired speed can be achieved by simply changing the gear ratio.

On a f108 engine, which component serves as the mechanical coupling between the compressor rotor and the transfer gearbox(TGB)?
- A.
  
  Power take-off (PTO) drive shaft
- B.
  
  Accessory gearbocx (AGB)
- C.
  
  Inlet gearbox (IGB)
- D.
  
  Radial drive shaft
Correct Answer
C. Inlet gearbox (IGB)

Explanation
The correct answer is the inlet gearbox (IGB). The inlet gearbox serves as the mechanical coupling between the compressor rotor and the transfer gearbox (TGB) in an F108 engine. It is responsible for transmitting power from the compressor rotor to the TGB, allowing for the transfer of power and torque between the two components. The other options, such as the power take-off (PTO) drive shaft, accessory gearbox (AGB), and radial drive shaft, do not serve this specific function in the engine.
