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.

18. The measure of resistance to heat flow






19. A type of system that uses circulating pumps and fans to collect and distribute heat.






20. A sliding piece moved by or moving against fluid pressure which usually consists of a short cylindrical body fitting within a cylindrical chamber or vessel along which it moves back and forth.






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






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






23. The amount or quantity of something

28. The measure of resistance to heat flow






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






30. Mechanical property of a material that indicates the ability of the material to handle overloading before it fractures






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






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






33. A circuit in which all parts are connected end to end to provide a single path of current






34. A statsitical measurement of variability






35. A sketch that shows an object's height - width - and depth in a single view.






36. A truss that lies in a single plane often used to support roofs and bridges






37. A switch that can provide variable motion control






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






39. A mathematical property of a cross section that is concerned with a surface area and how that area is distributed about a centroidal axis.






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






41. 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.






42. Energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion






43. A major or minor change in the design of an item - effected in order to correct a deficiency - to facilitate production - or to improve operational effectiveness.






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






45. Produced by the combining of parts or elements to form a whole - rather than of natural origin; not real - artificial

47. The potential difference measured in volts. The amount of work to be done to move a charge from one point to another along an electric circuit






48. The elements - constituents - or substances of which something is composed or can be made; matter that has qualities which give it individuality and by which it may be categorized
