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 systemized body of laws; a set of principles - as of ethics






2. 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. The ratio of actual strength to required strength






13. A statsitical measurement of variability






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






15. The condition or quality of being true - correct - or exact; precision; exactness.






16. The reason for which something is done or for which something exists.






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






18. A device that holds the compressed air in a pneumatic system.






19. The measure of resistance to heat flow






20. The place at which independent and often unrelated systems meet and act on or communicate with each other.






21. A photo- sensitive resistor whose resistance decreases as the light striking the unit increases.






22. The state when objects are not yet in motion






23. A solid- state switching device.






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






25. A small circuit board that controls all the processing within a computer.






26. 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.

27. The ratio of the increment of some specified form of stress to the increment of some specified form of strain - such as Young's modulus - the bulk modulus - or the shear modulus. Also known as coefficient of elasticity - elasticity modulus - elastic

29. The square root of the variance.






30. The rotating member of an electrical machine






31. 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.






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






33. Changes one form of power to another






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






35. A body subjected to pull.






36. 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.






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






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






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






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






41. A force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion.






42. The type of charge an atomic particle has






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






44. Absolute temperature scale






45. The flow of electrical power or charge.






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






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






48. Solid material which is composed of two or more substances having different physical characteristics and in which each substance retains its identity while contributing desirable properties to the whole; especially - a structural material made of pla






49. A force system where all of the forces are applied at a common point on the body or having their lines of action with a common intersection point.






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