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.

16. A type of lever that is a wheel with a groove in its rim - which is used to change the direction or multiply a force exerted by a rope or cable.






17. The amount or quantity of something






18. A part of the physical world as described by its thermodynamic properties such as temperature - volume - pressure - concentration - surface tension - and viscosity.






19. The loss of the load- bearing ability of a material under repeated load application - as opposed to a single load






20. Individual fuel cells that are combined in series.






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






22. Any of various opaque - fusible - ductile - and typically lustrous substances that are good conductors of electricity and heat






23. Distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






24. A force system where all of the forces are applied at a common point on the body or having their lines of action with a common intersection point.






25. An air pump that compresses air into a receiver tank.






26. Impeding effect exerted by one material object on another.






27. The ratio of actual strength to required strength

29. A resource that can be replaced when needed






30. The probability that a component part - equipment - or system will satisfactorily perform its intended function under given circumstances - such as environmental conditions - limitations as to operating time - and frequency and thoroughness of mainte






31. A collection of individuals - each with his or her own expertise - brought together to benefit a common goal.






32. A part of a design brief that challenges the designer - describes what a design solution should do without describing how to solve the problem -






33. A valve that allows flow in one direction but prevents flow in the opposite direction.






34. A flat surface set at an angle or an incline with no moving parts that is able to lift objects by pushing or pulling the load.






35. Solid material which is composed of two or more substances having different physical characteristics and in which each substance retains its identity while contributing desirable properties to the whole; especially - a structural material made of pla






36. Categorical data graph percentage






37. The unit of potential difference symbolized as V






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






39. If one object exerts a force on another object - then the second object exerts a force of equal streangth in the opposite direction on the first object.
