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






2. 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.






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






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






5. A common workplace disorder causing numbness and pain in the thumb and first three finger.






6. Stored energy






7. The that has a handle because of a motoe or person turning it.






8. A combination of fixed and movable pulleys - may be used to list very heavy or awkward loads.






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






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






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






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






13. The energy of motion.






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






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






16. A back and forth movement.






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






18. The force acting perpendicular to a certain surface area.






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






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






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






22. A joint that allows connected shafts to spin freely while permitting a change in direction.






23. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






24. A machine used for raising or moving liquids.






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






26. A rotating gear that meshes with a bar that has gear teeth along its length. Changes rotating motion into linear motion.






27. Work= force x distance






28. The ability to do work.






29. The weight of an object that is is moved or lifted by a machine - or resistance to movement that a machine must overcome






30. The distance in a strait line from the center of a circle to the circle circumference






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






32. The gear which transmits power and motion to the rest of the system. The input gear.






33. A machine consisting of two turning objects attached to each other at thier centers. One object to turn






34. 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.






35. Energy is transferred from one plan to another - and no energy is changed or converted.






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






37. The ratio of the useful work or energy provided by a machine or system with the actual work or energy supplied to the machine or system.






38. Measurement for work






39. A combo of several pulleys working together.






40. The transmission of power between shafts by means of a belt connecting pulleys on the shafts.






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






42. The gear being turned buy the driver gear






43. A twisting force.






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






45. The science of designing gone or work environments that best suit the human body in it various dimensions.






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






47. Movement in a straight line.






48. A law stating that when pressuer is exerted on on part of a fluid - the same pressure is transmitted unchanged to all parts of the fluid - no matter what the shape of the container holding fluid. EX: water balloon.
