What this sample is
An independently authored Mechanical question with a complete setup and solution. Use it to evaluate your model selection, handbook path, unit handling, and answer check.

FE Mechanical practice questions with worked solutions
Good FE Mechanical practice connects mechanics and thermal systems instead of memorizing disconnected formulas. Use each solution to identify the governing model, assumptions, and fastest handbook path.
Try an original Mechanical question
Choose an answer before reviewing the solution. Pay attention to the governing model and setup, not only the final choice.

Question 1 of 1 free
A 10 kg block accelerates horizontally at 3.0 m/s^2 while a constant 8 N friction force opposes the motion. The applied horizontal force is most nearly:
How sure are you?
What it is not
It is not an NCEES question and does not come from any NCEES practice exam. For NCEES practice products and current exam policies, use the NCEES exam-prep catalog.
A better review loop for FE Mechanical
Practice creates useful evidence only when the review explains why the setup worked or failed. Use this three-part loop after every question.
CHECK 1
Choose the system
Define the particle, rigid body, control volume, or component before writing force or energy balances.
CHECK 2
State assumptions
Mark steady state, ideal behavior, negligible losses, or constant properties before selecting the model.
CHECK 3
Link related topics
Use statics to support dynamics and mechanics, and connect fluids, thermodynamics, and heat transfer.
