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






2. Movement in a straight line.






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






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






5. A back and forth movement.






6. A way to measure stuff.






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






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






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






10. 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.

12. The gear being turned buy the driver gear






13. Measurement for work






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






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






16. 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.






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






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






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






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






21. The ability to do work.






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






23. A combo of several pulleys working together.






24. The energy of motion.






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






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






27. A machine used for raising or moving liquids.






28. 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.






29. Work= force x distance






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






38. Acts on a certain area.






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






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






41. Circular movement.






42. The distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






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






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






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






46. 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.






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






48. Stored energy






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






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