This document is a test for a creative design and innovation class covering hydraulic and pneumatic systems. It contains multiple choice questions, true/false questions, matching, labeling diagrams, short answer questions, and calculations involving hydraulic principles like Pascal's law. The test covers key components of hydraulic systems like reservoirs, pumps, actuators, and valves. It also addresses properties of hydraulic fluids, applications of hydraulics, and comparisons between hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Part 2: True or False
paPart 3: Match component of the basic hydraulic system to its function
Component Function
---- (1) Reservoir (A) A mechanical device that converts mechanical power
into hydraulic energy, to generate hydraulic pressure.
---- (2) Pump (B) A one – way valve that normally allows fluid (liquid
or gas) to flow through it in one direction only.
---- (3) Linear actuator (C) A container for holding the fluid required to supply the
system
---- (4) Selector valve (D) Creates motion in a straight line.
---- (5) Non-return valve (E) A directional control device that ensures the
movement of the hydraulic fluid flow in the proper
direction.
