Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A combination of fixed and movable pulleys - may be used to list very heavy or awkward loads.






2. The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.






3. A mechanical system that uses a liquid under pressure in a close system to raise heavy objects.






4. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






5. A pear- shaped disk with an off- center pivot point - used to change rotating motion into reciprocating motion.






6. A system having a boundary that separates it from it surroundings.






7. A back and forth movement.






8. A small cogwheel that engages or is engaged by a larger cogwheel.






9. A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts.






10. A pulley supported by attachment to something that does not move - such as a ceiling - wall - or tree.






11. The ability to do work.






12. A machine consisting of a small cylinder - a crank or handle - on a cable. Winch can be used to lift or pull things






13. A combo of several pulleys working together.






14. A machine used for raising or moving liquids.






15. Something put into a system - such as resources - in order to achieve a result.






16. The results of the operation of any system.






17. A machine consisting of a bar that is free to rotate around a fixed point - changing the amount of force that must be exerted to move an object.






18. A pivot pin near the outside edge of a wheel or disk that changes reciprocating motion into rotary motion.






19. The ratio of the force produced by a machine or system (the load) to the force applied to the machine or system.






20. A lever in which the effort is applied between the fulcrum and the load.






21. A twisting force.






22. A mechanical arrangement consisting of a toothed wheel driven by a short revolving cylinder bearing a screw thread.






23. The point of the lever that does not move.






24. A lever in which the load is between the fulcrum and the effort.






25. A threaded shaft used to convert rotary movement to linear movement.






26. A way to measure stuff.






27. The energy of motion.






28. Stored energy






29. One of a pair of gears used to connect two shafts whose axes intersect.






30. A swing back and forth at a regular rate.






31. Work= force x distance






32. The work done on a machine as the input force acts through the input distance






33. Opposite in position - direction - order or effect.






34. The member of a pair of gears to which motion and power are transmitted by the other. The output gear.






35. The realtioship between the speed of rotation of a smaller gear and a larger gear = number of driven gear teeth / Number of following gear teeth.






36. The application of force that moves an object a certain distance.






37. The work done by a machine as the output force acts through the output distance






38. A wheel with a grooved rim to guide a rope or chain that runs along the groove; used to transmit or change direction of force.






39. A secondary or subordinate system that is part if a larger system.






40. A system in which a gas - such as air - transmits a force exerted on gas in an enclosed space.






41. Movement in a straight line.






42. A rotating wheel- like device with teeth around the rim.






43. A device used to regulate the flow of a liquid in a hydraulic system.






44. Circular movement.






45. The part of a machine which contains two or more pieces arranged so that the motion of one compels the motion of the others.






46. A gear with teeth that fits into the links of a chain.






47. A combination of two or more gears used to transmit motion between two rotating shafts or between a shaft and a slide.






48. Acts on a certain area.






49. A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.






50. The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member.
