    Which branch of mechanical engineering is also known as the study of energy? - ProProfs

    Which branch of mechanical engineering is also known as the study of energy?

    • Thermodyamics

    • Mechatromnics

    • Statics

    • Structural Analysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Thermodyamics
    Explanation
    Thermodynamics is the branch of mechanical engineering that focuses on the study of energy. It deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy, and how these factors affect the behavior of systems. By understanding thermodynamics, engineers can analyze and design various energy systems, such as engines, power plants, and refrigeration systems. This field plays a crucial role in the development of efficient and sustainable energy technologies.

    The study of non-moving bodies under known loads, how forces affect static bodies is called? - ProProfs

    The study of non-moving bodies under known loads, how forces affect static bodies is called?

    • Dynamics

    • Strength of materials

    • Statics

    • Kinematics

    Correct Answer
    A. Statics
    Explanation
    Statics is the correct answer because it is the study of non-moving bodies under known loads and how forces affect static (non-moving) bodies. This branch of physics focuses on analyzing the equilibrium of forces acting on objects at rest. It is concerned with the balance of forces and moments on objects, without considering their motion or acceleration.

    The mechanical engineering field requires core understanding of which of the following core areas? - ProProfs

    The mechanical engineering field requires core understanding of which of the following core areas?

    • Dynamics

    • Mechanics

    • Electricity

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because the mechanical engineering field encompasses a broad range of subjects and requires a core understanding of dynamics, mechanics, and electricity. Dynamics is important for studying the motion and forces of objects, mechanics is essential for analyzing the behavior of materials and structures, and electricity is necessary for understanding the electrical systems and components used in mechanical systems. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of all these core areas is necessary for a successful career in mechanical engineering.

    When did mechanical engineering emerge as a field? - ProProfs

    When did mechanical engineering emerge as a field?

    • 16th Century

    • 17th Century

    • 18th Century

    • 19th Century

    Correct Answer
    A. 18th Century
    Explanation
    Mechanical engineering emerged as a field in the 18th century. This was a time of significant advancements in technology and industrialization, which led to the development of mechanical engineering as a distinct discipline. During this period, engineers began to focus on the design and construction of machines and mechanical systems, such as steam engines and textile machinery. The Industrial Revolution, which started in the late 18th century, further accelerated the growth of mechanical engineering as it required skilled engineers to design and improve the machinery used in factories.

    Branch of mechanical engineering is devoted to examining why and how objects fail and to fix the objects and their performance. - ProProfs

    Branch of mechanical engineering is devoted to examining why and how objects fail and to fix the objects and their performance.

    • Material Analysis

    • Structural Analysis

    • None of the above

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Structural Analysis
    Explanation
    Structural analysis is the correct answer because it is the branch of mechanical engineering that focuses on understanding why and how objects fail, as well as finding ways to fix and improve their performance. This field involves studying the behavior and response of structures under different loads and conditions, analyzing their stability, strength, and durability. By using various analytical and computational methods, structural engineers can identify potential weaknesses or flaws in structures and develop solutions to enhance their safety and performance. Material analysis, on the other hand, specifically deals with studying the properties and behavior of different materials, which is not mentioned in the given statement.

    The fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering usually include the following except? - ProProfs

    The fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering usually include the following except?

    • Mathematics

    • Instrumentation and Measurement

    • Strength of Materials

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Mathematics
    Explanation
    The question asks for a subject that is not included in the fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering. The subjects listed are Mathematics, Instrumentation and Measurement, and Strength of Materials. The correct answer is Mathematics, as it is a fundamental subject that is typically included in the curriculum of mechanical engineering. Therefore, the other options, Instrumentation and Measurement and Strength of Materials, are not the correct answer.

    The study of how materials deform under different types of stress is known as? - ProProfs

    The study of how materials deform under different types of stress is known as?

    • Dynamics

    • Strength of materials

    • Statics

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Strength of materials." Dynamics is the study of motion and forces, while statics is the study of stationary objects and forces. None of the above options accurately describes the study of how materials deform under different types of stress. Therefore, the correct answer is "Strength of materials."
