1. Tensile Stress Calculation | 拉应力计算
Mock Question: A cylindrical aluminium rod of diameter 12 mm sustains a tensile load of 8 kN. Calculate the tensile stress in the rod. Give your answer in MPa.
模拟试题：一根直径为 12 mm 的圆柱形铝杆承受 8 kN 的拉伸载荷。计算杆内的拉应力，答案以 MPa 为单位。
Solution: First convert diameter to metres: d = 12 mm = 0.012 m. The cross-sectional area A is given by A = πd²/4.
解答：首先将直径转换为米：d = 12 mm = 0.012 m。横截面积 A 由公式 A = πd²/4 得出。
A = π × (0.012)² / 4 = 1.131 × 10⁻⁴ m²
The force must be in newtons: F = 8 kN = 8000 N. Tensile stress σ = F / A.
力必须以牛顿为单位：F = 8 kN = 8000 N。拉应力 σ = F / A。
σ = 8000 N / 1.131×10⁻⁴ m² = 7.07×10⁷ Pa = 70.7 MPa
Always double-check unit conversions; failing to convert mm² to m² is a common error. Remember that 1 MPa = 1×10⁶ Pa.
务必仔细检查单位换算；忘记将 mm² 转换为 m² 是常见错误。记住 1 MPa = 1×10⁶ Pa。
2. Young’s Modulus from a Stress-Strain Graph | 从应力-应变图求杨氏模量
Mock Question: During a tensile test, a specimen exhibits a linear stress-strain relationship. When stress increases from 0 to 240 MPa, the strain changes from 0 to 0.003. Calculate Young’s modulus for the material.
模拟试题：拉伸试验中，试样表现出线性应力-应变关系。当应力从 0 增加到 240 MPa 时，应变从 0 变化到 0.003。计算该材料的杨氏模量。
Solution: Young’s modulus E is the gradient of the stress-strain curve in the linear region: E = stress / strain.
解答：杨氏模量 E 是应力-应变曲线线性区域的斜率：E = 应力 / 应变。
E = (240 × 10⁶ Pa) / 0.003 = 8.0 × 10¹⁰ Pa = 80 GPa
The result is typical of many aluminium alloys. In the examination, make sure you use consistent units — convert MPa to Pa if strain is dimensionless.
该结果与许多铝合金的典型值相符。考试中务必使用一致的单位——如果应变无量纲，应将 MPa 转换为 Pa。
3. Forces in Equilibrium: Resolving Vectors | 力的平衡：矢量分解
Mock Question: A street lamp of weight 150 N is suspended by two identical cables, each making an angle of 40° with the vertical. Determine the tension in each cable.
模拟试题：一盏重 150 N 的路灯由两根完全相同的缆绳悬挂，每根缆绳与竖直方向成 40° 角。求每根缆绳的张力。
Solution: For equilibrium, the sum of vertical components of tension must equal the weight. Both cables are symmetric, so each carries the same tension T.
解答：为达到平衡，张力的竖直分力之和必须等于重力。两根缆绳对称，因此每根承受的张力 T 相同。
2 × T cos 40° = 150 N
T = 150 / (2 × cos 40°) = 150 / 1.532 = 97.9 N
Always resolve forces correctly and check that the horizontal components cancel out. In this case, T sin 40° from each cable act in opposite directions, so equilibrium is satisfied horizontally.
始终正确分解力，并验证水平分量是否相互抵消。本题中，每根缆绳的 T sin 40° 方向相反，因此水平方向也满足平衡条件。
4. Principle of Moments | 力矩原理
Mock Question: A uniform beam of length 3.0 m and weight 200 N is pivoted at one end. An upward force F is applied at the other end to keep the beam horizontal. Calculate the magnitude of F.
模拟试题：一根长 3.0 m、重 200 N 的均匀梁，一端为支点。在另一端施加竖直向上的力 F 以使梁保持水平。计算 F 的大小。
Solution: The weight acts at the centre of the beam, 1.5 m from the pivot. Taking moments about the pivot: clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment.
解答：重力作用在梁的中点，距支点 1.5 m。对支点取矩：顺时针力矩 = 逆时针力矩。
200 N × 1.5 m = F × 3.0 m
F = (200 × 1.5) / 3.0 = 100 N
Note that the pivot reaction force does not contribute to the moment about the pivot. When sketching free-body diagrams, clearly label all forces and distances.
注意支点反力对支点的力矩为零。绘制受力分析图时，要清晰标注所有力和距离。
5. Ohm’s Law and Series Resistance | 欧姆定律与串联电阻
Mock Question: A 12 V battery is connected to two resistors in series: R₁ = 4 Ω and R₂ = 8 Ω. Calculate the total current and the voltage across R₂.
模拟试题：一个 12 V 电池与两个串联电阻连接：R₁ = 4 Ω，R₂ = 8 Ω。计算总电流以及 R₂ 两端的电压。
Solution: For series circuits, total resistance R_total = R₁ + R₂ = 4 + 8 = 12 Ω. Using Ohm’s law, I = V / R_total.
解答：对于串联电路，总电阻 R_total = R₁ + R₂ = 4 + 8 = 12 Ω。应用欧姆定律，I = V / R_total。
I = 12 V / 12 Ω = 1.0 A
The voltage across R₂ is V₂ = I × R₂ = 1.0 A × 8 Ω = 8 V. Always verify that the sum of individual voltages equals the supply voltage (4 V + 8 V = 12 V).
R₂ 两端的电压为 V₂ = I × R₂ = 1.0 A × 8 Ω = 8 V。务必验证各元件电压之和等于电源电压（4 V + 8 V = 12 V）。
6. Kirchhoff’s Current Law Application | 基尔霍夫电流定律应用
Mock Question: At a junction in a circuit, three wires meet. Wire 1 carries a current of 2.5 A into the junction, and wire 2 carries 1.2 A into the junction. Determine the current in wire 3, stating its direction.
模拟试题：在电路的一个节点处有三条导线交汇。导线 1 流入节点的电流为 2.5 A，导线 2 流入节点的电流为 1.2 A。求导线 3 中的电流，并说明其方向。
Solution: Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) states that the sum of currents entering a junction equals the sum of currents leaving.
解答：基尔霍夫电流定律（KCL）指出：流入节点的电流之和等于流出节点的电流之和。
I_in = I₁ + I₂ = 2.5 + 1.2 = 3.7 A
Therefore, if wire 3 were the only other conducting path, the current leaving through wire 3 must be 3.7 A. The direction is out of the junction.
因此，如果导线 3 是唯一的其他导电路径，则通过导线 3 流出的电流必定为 3.7 A。方向为流出节点。
7. Specific Heat Capacity Problem | 比热容问题
Mock Question: An aluminium engine block of mass 15 kg is heated from 18 °C to 95 °C. The specific heat capacity of aluminium is 900 J/(kg °C). Calculate the energy supplied, assuming no heat loss.
模拟试题：一个质量为 15 kg 的铝制发动机缸体从 18 °C 加热到 95 °C。铝的比热容为 900 J/(kg °C)。假设无热损失，计算提供的能量。
Solution: Use the formula Q = m c ΔT, where ΔT = 95 – 18 = 77 °C.
解答：使用公式 Q = m c ΔT，其中 ΔT = 95 – 18 = 77 °C。
Q = 15 kg × 900 J/(kg °C) × 77 °C = 1,039,500 J ≈ 1.04 MJ
In engineering contexts, it is often useful to express the answer in MJ or kJ. Remember that 1 MJ = 1×10⁶ J. The same approach applies to latent heat calculations.
在工程情景中，通常将答案用 MJ 或 kJ 表示。记住 1 MJ = 1×10⁶ J。相同的方法也适用于潜热计算。
8. Fluid Pressure and Manometer Reading | 流体压力与压力计读数
Mock Question: A U-tube manometer containing mercury (density 13,600 kg/m³) is used to measure gas pressure. One arm is open to the atmosphere (101 kPa), and the mercury in the open arm is 120 mm higher than in the arm connected to the gas. Determine the absolute pressure of the gas.
模拟试题：使用装有水银（密度 13,600 kg/m³）的 U 型管压力计测量气体压力。一侧开口与大气相通（101 kPa），开口侧的水银柱比连接气体侧高 120 mm。求气体的绝对压力。
Solution: The height difference indicates the gauge pressure. Use P_gauge = ρ g h. Convert h = 120 mm = 0.120 m, g = 9.81 m/s².
解答：高度差表示表压。使用 P_gauge = ρ g h。转换 h = 120 mm = 0.120 m，g = 9.81 m/s²。
P_gauge = 13600 × 9.81 × 0.120 = 16,020 Pa = 16.0 kPa
Since the open arm is higher, the gas pressure is less than atmospheric. Therefore, P_gas = P_atm – P_gauge = 101 kPa – 16.0 kPa = 85.0 kPa.
由于开口侧水银柱更高，气体压力低于大气压。因此，P_gas = P_atm – P_gauge = 101 kPa – 16.0 kPa = 85.0 kPa。
Manometer questions test careful sign convention. Always draw a simple sketch and label the high-pressure and low-pressure sides.
压力计问题考查符号惯例。始终画一个简图，并标注高压侧和低压侧。
