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. Values that possess names or labels






2. Frequency distribution graph






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






4. Values that represent a measurable quantity






5. A rigid bar used to exert a pressure or sustain a weight at one point of its length by the application of a force at a second and turning at a third on a fulcrum.






6. The stress required to fracture a material whether by compression - tension - or shear






7. Any device that controls - either automatically or manually - the flow of a fluid.






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






9. A person or group for which product or service design efforts are intended.






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






11. A type of pneumatic pressure control valve that controls the maximum pressure in a branch of a circuit.






12. 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.

13. The ratio of actual strength to required strength






14. States that the direct current flowing in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit

15. The measurement of how difficult it is for charges to flow through a material






16. The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves






17. Nominal stress developed in a material at rupture. Not necessarily equal to ultimate strength. Since necking is not taken into account in determining rupture strength - seldom indicates true stress at rupture






18. The difference between samples






19. 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






20. The unit of potential difference symbolized as V






21. The ratio of the useful energy delivered by a dynamic system to the energy supplied to it






22. The connection points of members of a truss






23. A law that states that the internal energy in a system remains constant and the change in thermal energy of a system is equal to the work done on the system.






24. The fractional increase in a material's length due to stress in tension or thermal expansion






25. Degree of conformity of a measure to a standard value.






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






27. The measure of resistance to heat flow






28. The use of quality control techniques associated with a process.






29. Pressure exerted by a confined fluid acts undiminished equally in all directions

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






31. A natural fuel such as coal or gas - formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms






32. A measure of how easily a material can be twisted






33. A support that prevents translation in any direction






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






35. Plant materials and animal waste used especially as a source of fuel.






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






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






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






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






40. 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.

41. Distance between adjacent threads in a screw.






42. The production of electricity in conductors with the use of magnets






43. The probability of an event occurring based upon other event probabilities

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






45. The rotating member of an electrical machine






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






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






48. Bell- shaped probability distribution






49. The structure of or the relationship of the parts in a machine - or in a construction or process comparable to a machine.






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