1A single rivet of diameter d = 10 mm is loaded in pure shear by F = 12 kN. Average shear stress is:
2An M12 bolt has tensile stress area ≈ 84.3 mm². With σ_all = 160 MPa, maximum axial tensile load is closest to:
3An M10 bolt is tightened with T = 40 N·m. Using T = 0.2·F·d (d = 10 mm), estimated preload F is:
4One rivet d = 12 mm in double shear; τ_all = 90 MPa. Allowable load based on rivet shear is closest to:
5Bolt core diameter d_c = 8.376 mm carries 15 kN tension. Tensile stress is closest to:
6For M16×2, pitch diameter d₂ = d − 0.6495·P. With d = 16 mm and P = 2 mm, d₂ is:
7Rivet bearing: d = 16 mm, t = 8 mm, σ_b,all = 180 MPa. Allowable load for one rivet is:
8Compared with a riveted permanent joint, a screw (bolt) connection is:
9Four identical bolts share 48 kN equally. Each has A_t = 84.3 mm². Tensile stress per bolt is closest to:
10M20×2.5 thread: how many full turns advance a nut 15 mm?
About the Pancyprian Machine Elements T.S. (Practical) Exam
Machine Elements (Στοιχεία Μηχανών, code 513) is the practical-direction Technical School access subject covering mechanical connections, shafts, bearings, couplings, gear/belt/chain power transmission, mechanisms, seals and lubricants. The written paper rewards correct formula selection and unit handling on sizing and ratio problems. This bank provides 100 original English-language MCQs with worked calculations and per-option explanations mapped to those syllabus areas.
Exam sponsor: Examinations Service, Cyprus Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
The official assessment is a single 2.5-hour written paper in Greek on the Technical School practical-direction Machine Elements syllabus, combining theory and comprehension with structured numerical exercises on connections, shafts, bearings, couplings and gear/belt/chain drives. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation.
Time Limit
2 hours 30 minutes per the official 2026 Pancyprian Access Examinations timetable and code 513 syllabus

Pancyprian Machine Elements T.S. (Practical): Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this practice bank the same as the official Pancyprian Machine Elements paper?
No. The official exam is a 2.5-hour written paper in Greek with constructed-response theory and structured calculation exercises. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation: use it to drill formulas and concepts, but practise full written solutions with units separately, because the real paper requires you to produce them yourself.
Who sits Machine Elements code 513?
It is the Machine Elements access subject for candidates from Cyprus Technical and Vocational Schools of Education and Training on the practical direction (Π.Κ.). The 2026 paper was scheduled for Friday 19 June 2026, 08:00–10:30, per the official timetable.
What topics does the code 513 syllabus cover?
Connections (rivets, press fits, screw fasteners), keyed and elastic connections, welding, axles/shafts/journals, bearings and couplings, gear drives, belt drives, chain drives, mechanisms, sealing means and lubricants, with repeated emphasis on worked numerical exercises for stresses, ratios, speeds and sizing.
How is the paper marked and is there a pass mark?
The paper is marked on a 0-20 scale. There is no pass or fail threshold: the mark feeds the candidate's access/ranking grade (βαθμός πρόσβασης) used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.
Are calculators allowed?
Exam regulations on permitted materials are set by the Examinations Service and published in the official Guide and exam-day instructions; check panexams.moec.gov.cy for the current rules rather than relying on third-party summaries.
How should I use this bank most effectively?
Work topic by topic alongside your school textbook: attempt each calculation with pen and paper, check units (mm vs m, rpm vs rad/s), and re-derive every numeric answer. Then attempt past official papers from the Examinations Service under timed, written conditions.
