hi there everybody my name is Richard
McMunn and in this next training video
I'm going to teach you how to pass
mechanical comprehension tests and in
particular I'm gonna give you sample
questions a few tutorials and also the
answers so it's gonna be a great
fantastic tutorial let's get straight
into it so first of all a very warm
welcome from me that's me there on the
right hand side my name is Richard
McMunn I've been helping people like you
for many many years about 20 years now
to prepare for their psychometric tests
and also pass their interviews so in
this video specifically we are going to
focus on mechanical comprehension tests
so the test designed to be educational
informative a little bit of fun but also
challenging and I'm gonna get you guys
to have a go at some of the questions so
on that point please do watch it from
beginning to end because I believe that
you will really enjoy the video and
don't forget to subscribe just click the
red subscribe button below the video and
also if you do like the questions please
do give it a thumbs up because that
would really motivate me to do more okay
let's get straight into it
question number one so we have two
buckets here x and y so question one
both water buckets are filled to the top
so we have to imagine they're filled to
the top now which water bucket most
accurately demonstrates how water would
leak from the bucket if four small holes
were made on the side of the bucket so
we've got a X B or Y so you can see
there that these four small holes been
made in the book it and you can see
there the water is coming out on X&Y
so we have to decide which one depicts
or accurately demonstrates how water
would leak from the bucket and you've
also got four holes on the right-hand
side bucket as well so that's the water
coming out in those blue lines and we
have to decide which one accurately
demonstrates how water would leak from
the Bukit if four small holes are made
now this is how to answer this question
now pressure is acting in this direction
on both of the buckets therefore the
pressure is greater the further down the
book at you go which means the water
will spout further the lower down the
book in the Holies
therefore the correct answer is y okay
that's the correct answer to question
one because the pressure is acting down
therefore there's more pressure acting
which means that water the lower the
holes are the further out it will spout
okay now it's your turn so we're gonna
do question two but I'd like you to post
your answer to question two in the
comment section below this video for
marking so I'll come on each day and
market now there is a timer on each
question that I'm gonna do and that's
the timer there and you'll see it go
down
you got that 12 seconds per question to
have a go so this is question two when
the tap is turned on which container
will fill up first so you have to look
at all of the containers and have a look
at the configuration which ones have
holds which ones don't
we need to know which one is going to
fill up first is it a b c d e f or g
please put your answer to comment
section below now if you find that 12
seconds is not long enough please feel
free to pause the video to work it out
because I've rather you got the answers
correct so off you go
okay so please place your answer to
question two in the comment section
below the video let's move on question
three a glass beaker now this is a real
common question during mechanical
comprehension test a glass beaker
contains oil and water as depicted below
if more water is poured into the beaker
how will it look now a B or C so you can
see this is the one here that we have
that's depicted with oil on the top of
the water if more water is poured in
here will it look like a B or C so water
is poured in there how will it look now
to heart answer this now remember this
water is heavier than oil therefore the
correct answer is C because oil will
always be at the top because water is
denser than oil and always remember that
because this is a real common question
okay now it's your turn again
please post your answer in the comment
section below the video for marking
thank you so here we go we've got three
trucks here and the each truck contains
petrol and the petrol is the white
shaded part and this is the direction
the truck is moving so question for a
truck containing petrol is traveling at
40 miles an hour in the direction of
this large arrow so from left to right
if the truck had to suddenly break which
diagram best demonstrates what would
happen to the petrol the truck is
transporting at the time of breaking
suddenly is it truck a truck B or truck
sayin please put your answer in the
comment section below the video for
marking okay off you go got 12 seconds
okay well done sir put your answer to
question four in the comments section
below next one let's take a look okay so
here we have a crane question five which
rope is needed to support the load on
the crane and again this is a real
common question during mechanical
comprehension tests so which rope is
needed to support the load on the crate
is it rope ex rope why both ropes are
necessary or neither ropes are necessary
so to answer this question let's assume
we take away rope X so there we go we
remove rope X you can see that we've got
rope Y left but it would not be serving
any purpose at all as the loan can now
drop down this way because you can see
the lever could then move up from the
bottom up to the top therefore we do
need rope X so the correct answer is a
rope X because then it can't move
anywhere okay so now it's your turn
again please post your answer in the
comment section below for marking this
is question number six now read this
carefully which ropes are not needed to
support the cranes load is it ropes a B
and C B ropes B and C C ropes a and C or
D ropes a and B so put your answer to
comment in the comment section below so
rich which ropes are not needed to
support the cranes load off you go like
I say if you need more time please do
pause the video it's important you get
it correct okay moving on question
number seven this is again a real common
one
now when the handle so that's the handle
there in the top right makes a complete
rotation how far will the weight lower
and it says here the barrel
circumference equals 38 inches okay so
easy a 66 inches B 1900 inches C 17
inches D 38 inches now what we have to
understand is what the circumference
well the circumference is the entire
distance around the barrel which means
if the handle makes one complete
rotation then it means the weight will
lower simply 38 inches so one complete
rotation of the winch will lower the
weight 38 inches the correct answer is d
okay now it's your turn I'm gonna give
you two questions here to have a go out
we'll do first one and then the second
one again as always put your answer in
the comment section below
question 8 a wooden disks are these
three wooden disks here x y&z a wooden
disk with an integral metal disc
inserted will stop in which position
when rolled on a flat surface is it X Y
or Z so just to clarify that's the
wooden disk and that's the metal disc so
obviously you have to decide which is
heavier wood or metal is it a X B Y or C
Z or D it could stop in any position so
the wooden disk with an integral metal
disc inserted will stop in which
position when rolled on a flat surface
and you've got the time it takes the
timer to go down to put your answer in
the comment section below the markings
thank you
okay we're making fantastic progress
here like I say these are real common
questions so you're obviously learning a
lot as you go along and like I say if
you do enjoy the video please give it a
thumbs up so this is one for you again
guys question 9 which way would you turn
the bolt in order to tighten it so first
of all we have to know which is the nut
and which is the bot most people know
this but that's the nut and that is the
bolt so which way do we turn the bolt to
tighten it is it a or b put your answer
in the comment section below to question
are an A or B for marking thank you
fantastic question number 10 again an
alkene sonís but these are common
questions see these all the time and
I'll tell you how to answer this kind of
question how much weight should be
placed at point x to balance the beam so
that's point X so how to answer this
because the distance is three times
greater on the right of the fulcrum then
on the Left we have to divide the weight
by three to get our answer so that's the
fulcrum point there so we know what the
fulcrum is now so the weight is three
times the rates are on the right than on
the left therefore we have to simply
divide the weight by three to get our
answer so the answer is thirty kilograms
that's question ten ok so now it's your
turn I'm gonna give you three questions
now so we'll really start to develop and
grow so game has always post your answer
two questions an X three that come up in
the comment section below
same software question how much weight
should be placed at point x to balance
the beam okay so you've got the time it
takes you've got two meters on the left
and four meters on the right so what
you've just learned apply that to this
and like I say if you need to pause it
to get more time or go back to the
question ten to learn please feel free
to do so
time is going down now
you
okay well done question number 12 all of
the shapes shown are hollow
and filled with water if they are all
the exact same weight which one will be
the hardest to push on its side
is it a w bx c Y or D Z so all of the
shapes show on a hollow and filled with
water if they're all the exact same
weight which one will be the hardest to
push on inside
okay well done next question so we have
a vinyl record here and it spins at 45
rpm rpm stands for revolutions per
minute so it goes around 45 times per
minute but it spins at 45 RPM for two
minutes which point will make the
greatest number of revolutions is it a B
or C if you believe they will all
revolve an equal number select D as your
answer ABC or D for equal and again
you've got the time it takes the time to
go down to put your answer in the
comment section below thank you
