Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.130 Read Technical Diagrams and Schematics skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the rainwater collection system schematic. Which interpretation best explains how the system components are connected?

AThe pump sends information to the gutter, and the filter powers the controller.

BThe tank sends water through the filter to the pump, while the level sensor sends information to the controller that controls the pump relay.

CThe overflow pipe is the main electrical signal line to the sensor.

DThe controller is connected only to the storage tank and not to the relay.

Solution & Explanation:The diagram shows two kinds of connections: water flows through tank, filter, and pump, while the sensor and controller connections control when the pump relay operates.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the LED-string schematic. String A has two LEDs in series and fails open at one LED. String B is a separate parallel string and has no break. What happens to String B?

AString B must turn off because String A failed.

BString B can still light because it has its own complete branch.

CString B becomes a battery.

DString B changes into a switch.

Solution & Explanation:Parallel branches provide separate paths. An open failure in String A breaks that branch, but String B can still have a complete circuit.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the two-view support drawing. Which feature is represented by the triangular shape in the side view but appears as a thin rectangle in the front view?

Aa round wire loop

Ba triangular gusset brace

Ca hidden battery cell

Da flexible hose

Solution & Explanation:A gusset brace can look triangular from the side and thin from the front. Reading both views helps identify the 3D support feature.
