Principles Of Engineering

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 condition or quality of being true - correct - or exact; precision; exactness.






2. A law that states all natural processes proceed in a preferred direction






3. Categorical data graph






4. A support that only prevents a beam from translating in one direction.






5. The turning effect of a force about a point equal to the magnitude of the force times the perpendicular distance from the point to the line of action from the force.






6. The rate at which work is performed or energy is expended






7. The ability to get answers to questions through a conscious - organized process. The answers are usually - but not necessarily - quantitative






8. Sometimes referred to as tensile strength; determined by measuring the maximum load a material specimen can carry when in the shape of a rectangular bar or cylindrical can






9. When a material is reduced in volume by the application of pressure; the reciprocal of the bulk modulus






10. A physical quantity that has magnitude only.






11. A solid- state switching device.






12. The use of quality control techniques associated with a process.






13. Measure of data scatter






14. Sometimes referred to as tensile strength; determined by measuring the maximum load a material specimen can carry when in the shape of a rectangular bar or cylindrical can






15. The opposition that a device or material offers to the flow of direct current






16. The sense of a vector is the direction of the vector relative to its path and indicated by the location of the arrow.






17. A quantity that has both a magnitude and direction.






18. A measure of how easily a material can be twisted






19. A type of pressure control valve that limits the maximum pressure in a hydraulic or pneumatic circuit.






20. The result of an experiment






21. A group of machined or handmade parts that fit together to form a self- contained unit.






22. A plate or bracket for strengthening an angle in framework.






23. A result of a force moving an object a certain distance






24. Conversion of a digital signal to its analog equivalent - such as a voltage.






25. A strong rope - usually made of metal - designed to have great tensile strength and to be used in structures.






26. Frequency distibution graph






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






28. Graphical representation of a material's mechanical properties






29. The volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure exerted on it.

30. A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria.






31. A step- by- step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end - especially by a computer.






32. Distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






33. A part of an axle or shaft bent out at right angles - for converting reciprocal to circular motion and vice versa.






34. The measure of resistance to heat flow






35. A condition where there are no net external forces acting upon a particle or rigid body and the body remains at rest or continues at a constant velocity.






36. A straight line that comes closest to the points on a scatter plot






37. Energy caused by the movement of electrons.






38. Pressure exerted by a confined fluid acts undiminished equally in all directions

39. Changing one form of energy to another






40. A body subjected to pull.






41. A vector quantity giving the straight- line distance and direction from an initial position to a final position.






42. Bell- shaped probability distribution






43. An energy source that will never run out






44. A method of analysis of trusses which constructs free body diagrams of each joint and determines the forces acting in that joint by considering equilibrium of the joint pin.






45. Amount of difference between a value and the mean.






46. The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.






47. Information fed into a data processing system or computer.






48. A truss composed of triangles - which will retain its shape even when removed from supports.






49. Operational techniques necessary to satisfy all quality requirements; includes process monitoring and the elimination of root causes of unsatisfactory product or service quality performance






50. A person or group for which product or service design efforts are intended.
