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.

26. A pulley that makes work easier






27. Machines are used to make work easier. How does a machine accomplish this?






28. A wheel that meshes with a sliding toothed bar - converting rotary motion to reciprocating (to- and- fro)






29. The process of how solutions to problems are developed is






30. When generating ideas for a solution to a problem - it is important to do which of the following in order to effectively and visually communicate these ideas for use in construction drawings?






31. Provides a framework for design and problem solving work

33. The force applied to a lever






34. Which is not a true statement about gears?






35. When a machine multiplies the effort being used






36. The energy of motion






37. Toothed wheels that intermesh with other toothed wheels to transmit motion and force are






38. Seeks to explain and describe the physical world






39. Two gear wheels that intermesh in the same plane - regulating the speed or force of motion and reversing its direction






40. Energy of position
