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 force per unit area exerted by a fluid against a surface






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






3. A vector quantity that includes the speed and direction of an object.






4. The ratio of the magnitude of the resistance and effort forces applied a system.






5. The law that if two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with a third body then the first two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with each other






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






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






8. To make into a product suitable for use; to make from raw materials by hand or by machinery; to produce according to an organized plan and with division of labor






9. 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.

10. The return to the input of a part of the output of a machine - system - or process






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






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






13. Point at which the deformation is no longer directly proportional to the applied force. Hooke's Law no longer applies






14. A specialized heavy- duty computer system used for process control in factories - chemical plants - and warehouses






15. SPC is a method of monitoring - controlling - and ideally improving a process through statistical analysis. Its four basic steps include measuring the process - eliminating variances in the process to make it consistent - monitoring the process - and






16. The condition of a string - wire - or rod that is stretched between two points






17. 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.






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 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






20. A general agreement






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






22. Stages a product goes through from concept and use to eventual withdrawal from the marketplace






23. Change in length of an object in some direction per unit






24. A device that responds to a physical stimulus






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






26. A negative temperature coefficient - also known as a thermistor - is a sensitive resistor whose primary function is to exhibit a change in electric resistance with a change in temperature.






27. A support that prevents translation and rotation in a beam.






28. Categorical data graph percentage






29. Every body or particle continues at a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line - unless it is compelled to change that state by forces acting upon it.

30. The reason for which something is done or for which something exists.






31. A device used to measure flow rate.






32. The production of an electric or magnetic state by the proximity (without contact) of an electrified or magnetized body






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

34. Categorical data graph






35. The process of creating an object by adding small pieces or layers together to make a final product






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






37. Numbers or information describing some characteristic.






38. Stages a product goes through from concept and use to eventual withdrawal from the market place.






39. The transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity; Energy is transferred through collisions from one molecule to another






40. A support that prevents translation in any direction






41. A surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something at right angles to the axis.






42. To monitor and control a process so that the quality of the output/product improves.






43. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance - funding - space - materials - and human capabilities






44. Returning to an original condition. The extraction and recovery of valuable materials from scrap or other discarded materials






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






46. A circular toothed object used to transfer rotary motion and torque through interlocking teeth






47. Energy caused by the movement of electrons.






48. A substance that tapers to a thin edge and is used for splitting - raising heavy bodies - or for tightening by being driven into something.






49. Arithmetic average






50. A mechanical property of a material that shows how effective the material is absorbing mechanical energy without sustaining any permanent damage
