Introduction To Engineering - 7

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.

27. The metric unit for measuring work






28. The turning point of a lever






29. If you generate alternative solutions and begin to build your best solution - but you have problems building your design - what should you do?






30. A system of pulleys that consists of one rope wound around two separate sets of pulley - each of which is free to rotate independently on the same axle
