Exactly. ..fairly easy stuff for any engineer. The only aptitude portion was in finding the correct answers JOHN.

heh heh, just raz'n your smartypantsness. I'm so glad that I don't have that problem.


The biggest problems come from the poorly worded Q's...

Here they explain a force and yet give units of pressure. (tisk tisk )




And then the Q I "got wrong" has an issue of relativity. If you reverse the flow over a fan, the rotation reverses as well. So the blown fan is running backwards (relative to its normal direction) but since it is opposing the other (blowing) fan, it is running opposite & opposed, making it run in the same direction (relative to the running fan blades) This leaves the reader guessing as to which is the relative reference. --the blowing fan, or the typical fan rotation direction. (other Q's were similar.)
