The ground clearance of an FSAE vehicle has to be (at least):
- A.
25.4mm
- B.
Sufficient
- C.
Zero if e.g. sliding skirts are used.
- D.
50.8mm
Correct Answer
D. 50.8mmExplanation
The ground clearance of an FSAE vehicle has to be at least 50.8mm. This is because having a higher ground clearance allows for better maneuverability and prevents the vehicle from scraping or getting stuck on uneven surfaces. It also provides enough space for the suspension system to work effectively and absorb any shocks or vibrations from the road. Therefore, a ground clearance of 50.8mm is necessary to ensure the vehicle's performance and safety.Rate this question:

During the driver change I may
- A.
Change to wet tires, if the track is damp.
- B.
Turn off the master switch
- C.
Lift the front of the car to adjust the pedal assembly
- D.
Do all of these things
Correct Answer
D. Do all of these thingsExplanation
During the driver change, it is necessary to adapt to the current track conditions. If the track is damp, changing to wet tires would be the appropriate choice to ensure better traction. Additionally, turning off the master switch is necessary to prevent any electrical issues during the driver change. Lastly, lifting the front of the car to adjust the pedal assembly might be required to ensure the new driver's comfort and proper control of the car. Therefore, the correct answer is to do all of these things.Rate this question:

When the maximum allowed displacement of an IC Engine is 610ccm, what is the maximum allowed stroke on a 5 cylinder with a bore of 62.13 mm ?
- A.
41.38mm
- B.
39.87mm
- C.
40.24mm
- D.
42.56mm
Correct Answer
C. 40.24mmExplanation
The maximum allowed displacement of an IC Engine is calculated by multiplying the bore (diameter of the cylinder) squared by the stroke (distance the piston travels in the cylinder). In this case, we are given the maximum allowed displacement (610ccm) and the bore (62.13mm). To find the maximum allowed stroke, we can rearrange the formula and solve for it. By dividing the maximum allowed displacement by the bore squared, we get the maximum allowed stroke. Plugging in the given values, we find that the maximum allowed stroke is 40.24mm.Rate this question:

Which one is not a positive locking mechanism according to the rules?
- A.
Safety wire
- B.
Lock washer
- C.
Nylon lock nut
- D.
Cotter pin
Correct Answer
D. Cotter pinExplanation
A cotter pin is not a positive locking mechanism because it is a type of fastener that is used to secure two components together temporarily. It is not designed to provide a permanent or secure lock, as it can easily be removed or become loose over time. In contrast, safety wire, lock washers, and nylon lock nuts are all positive locking mechanisms that are specifically designed to prevent loosening or separation of components.Rate this question:

Which of the Harnesses and belts must not pass through the firewall?
- A.
Shoulder harness
- B.
Lap belts
- C.
Anti-submaine belts
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the harnesses and belts, including shoulder harnesses, lap belts, and anti-submarine belts, must not pass through the firewall. The firewall is a barrier between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment of a vehicle, designed to prevent the spread of fire and other hazards. Allowing harnesses and belts to pass through the firewall could compromise its integrity and effectiveness, potentially leading to increased risks for the occupants of the vehicle. Therefore, it is important to ensure that these harnesses and belts are properly installed and secured without passing through the firewall.Rate this question:

Which of the following gasses is allowed as a working gas in a pressurised gas cylinder?
- A.
Oxygen
- B.
Hellium
- C.
Hydogen
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. HelliumExplanation
Helium is allowed as a working gas in a pressurized gas cylinder. Oxygen and hydrogen are not suitable as working gases in pressurized cylinders due to their high reactivity and potential for combustion. Helium, on the other hand, is chemically inert and has low reactivity, making it safe to use in pressurized gas cylinders.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 180Explanation
The team that submits the design spec sheet 7 days later than the deadline could score a maximum of 180 in the design event. This suggests that there may be a penalty or deduction for late submission, resulting in a lower score. The maximum score of 180 indicates that the team can still achieve a high score if they submit their design spec sheet within the specified time frame.Rate this question:

The length of the rear track of the vehicle could be
- A.
5/3 of front track
- B.
3/5 of front track
- C.
16/25 of front track
- D.
8/7 of front track
Correct Answer
D. 8/7 of front trackExplanation
The length of the rear track of a vehicle is 8/7 of the front track. This means that the rear track is longer than the front track. The ratio of 8/7 indicates that for every 8 units of length in the front track, there are 7 units of length in the rear track. This suggests that the rear track extends further outwards from the center of the vehicle compared to the front track.Rate this question:

- D.
100° including mirrors(if any)
Correct Answer
C. 200° including mirrors(if any)Explanation
The minimum total field of vision of a driver is 200° including mirrors (if any). This means that the driver should be able to see a wide range of the surroundings, including both the front and sides of the vehicle, as well as any objects or vehicles in the rearview mirrors. Having a 200° field of vision helps the driver to be aware of potential hazards and make safe driving decisions.Rate this question:

If Fuel Tank Filler Neck is at a maximum possible angle from vertical, the possible least vertical height above top-level of the tank is
- A.
125mm
- B.
1.5inch
- C.
12.5inch
- D.
None
Correct Answer
A. 125mmExplanation
If the fuel tank filler neck is at a maximum possible angle from the vertical, it means that the neck is tilted to its maximum extent. In this scenario, the least vertical height above the top level of the tank would be 125mm. This implies that the filler neck is at its highest point, resulting in a minimum vertical distance between the top level of the tank and the filler neck.Rate this question:
