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






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






3. A body subjected to pull.






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






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






6. The magnitude of the total distance traveled divided by the time elapsed.






7. A person who designs any of a variety of things. This usually implies the task of creating drawings or in some way using visual cues to organize work.






8. Something made up of interdependent parts in a definite pattern of organization - such as trusses - frames - or machines.






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






10. A device used to spray an oil mist into the stream of a pneumatic system.






11. The change of motion of the body is proportional to the net force imposed on the body and is in the direction of the net force.

12. Anything for which a person is legally bound or responsible






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






14. A structure or body which is over- constrained such that there are more unknown supports than there are equations of static equilibrium.






15. Any of various elementary mechanisms including the lever - the wheel and axle - the pulley - the inclined plane - the wedge - and the screw.






16. Categorical data graph






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






18. The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves






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






20. 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.






21. Not having fixed limits; unrestricted; broad






22. The direction of a vector is defined by the angle between a reference axis and the arrow's line of direction.






23. Individual fuel cells that are combined in series.






24. Systems that do not make use of any externally powered - moving parts - such as circulation pumps - to move heated water or air.






25. The collection - evaluation - and interpretation of data






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






27. Energy derived from sources that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment






28. Energy caused by the movement of electrons.






29. Properties other than mechanical properties that pertain to the physics of a material and can usually be measured without the application of force






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






31. 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.

32. 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






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






34. Used to start and stop flow in a circuit






35. Frequency distibution graph






36. The use of gas flowing under pressure to transmit power from one location to another.






37. The calculated likelihood that a given event will occur






38. The geometric center of an area.






39. A form of energy that travels through space as waves.






40. 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






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






42. A series of usually metal links or rings connected to or fitted into one another and used to transmit motion and power within a sprocket system.






43. Values that possess names or labels






44. Those properties of a material that reveal the elastic and inelastic reaction when force is applied - or that involve the relationship between stress and strain; for example - the modulus of elasticity - tensile strength - and fatigue limit






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






46. The transfer of heat by the movement of a mass or substance; it can take place only in fluids






47. The measure of resistance to heat flow






48. The contact of a relay that is open when the coil is de- energized






49. Creating - designing - and transmitting technical information so that people can understand it easily and use it safely - effectively - and efficiently.






50. The tank that holds the fluid in a hydraulic system.
