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. A rough drawing representing the main features of an object or scene and often made as a preliminary study.






32. The process in which an electric current is used to produce a chemical reaction - such as the decomposition of water






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






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






35. The unit of potential difference symbolized as V






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






37. Any of numerous natural and synthetic compounds of usually high molecular weight consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units - each a relatively light and simple molecule






38. A gear positioned between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.






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