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.

31. The total pressure exerted on a system - including atmospheric pressure.






32. Conversion of an analog signal to a digital quantity such as binary.

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






41. A switching device that uses the magnetic field generated by an electrical current for actuation.






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






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






44. The basic unit of electric current adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites






45. Test methods used to examine an object - material - or system without impairing its future usefulness






46. The value that occurs most frequently






47. Used to start and stop flow in a circuit






48. The amount or quantity of something






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